Ive heard alot of people recommend F500 CorpFin. What are the hours like? How would you go about finding these types of positions? Obviously the culture will vary from one firm to the next, but what are some general trends in this particular line of work? What type of work would you do...?
Would appreciate some insight from people who have work/considered working in this area. Or are atleast familiar with what it consists of.
Thanks in advance.

CorpFin is a broad generalization.
1. You could be in "finance": maintaining budgets, accounts rec/pay, etc.
2. You could be in "business development": this is where M&A work would come into play; you could be either at the division level or corporate level
3. You could be in "corporate development": this is generally more strategic planning at the top of the organization
IMO, Choice 1 is boring and should be avoided. Choices 2 and 3 can overlap, but in either case they are more competitive positions.

It is the other way around:
bus dev=strategy planning
corp dev=M&A
