F10 Treasury to Corp Dev M&A

Can anyone provide some insight into how realistic jumping internally from the Treasury of a huge F10 to their Corp Development team could be? Mind you, they are in different buildings in different towns, so networking isn't impossible but would definitely be a challenge.

definitely possible, if only because transitioning to another department can be done within corporate finance. Now, it may be a little different (the one that I did was more of a leadership development program, so you had weight on where you wanted to rotate into). Treasury is a pretty cool function: you get your own desk, you deal with stuff like hedging, FX rates, credit swaps. I think you'll really like it. Believe me when i say this: beats internal audit by a MILE, and is usually on par or better than FP&A (very dependent on group. some are heavy forecasting and finance, some are heavy Journal entries). Best of luck!

There's a closer meaning to my user name. Try reading it quickly. Perhaps you will then understand ;P

I'm a little confused by what you mean. I'm looking to transition out of treasury and I've been in it for ~4 years on both the Ops side (boring just like internal audit) and the funding side (a little better). Neither really allow me to weigh in on any strategic decision. Within short term funding, the extremely limited amount of risk is controlled by policy. I'm more interested in long-term investments that use fundamental research and risk factors. I did CB prior to joining treasury and still find that more exciting than what I have done recently. Currently I'm on L3 of the CFA, and leaning against (instead of for) an MBA.

Can anyone else weigh in on this for me?
