My company is fantastic. Some late nights during deal crunch/board time but it’s not uncommon to have light Friday afternoons or happy hours. We are also always easy going on personal or family situations like a picking up kids, doctors appointments, leaving town etc. 

all in all, WLB is stellar. It certainly can change if the company becomes more acquisitive 

 

Ok, $125k target bonus, are you bonused on capital deployment? and is the firm a financial or strategic? I’ve never heard of corp dev having such a large bonus as % of salary and am curious what they incentivize.

 

I have 2 years in Corp Dev, in Mountain West region, and the offers I’ve gotten are all $120k-$135k base + ~10% bonus. Both working from home for CA firms. I bowed out of one that offered $120-$130k base, and they came back to me a week later asking to reconsider and they’d be flexible on salary. It was PE-backed. I do think they were offering on the high end. Not sure that helps your question or not.

 

I’ve seen manager level roles get base comp in that range you provided. Corp dev is all over the place, so definitely negotiate to the extent you can.
