Exit opps for Finance rotation/ Corp Development straight out of college?
I have two full-time options for after graduation. One is with a Valuations team at a Big4, and another with a tech company in a rotation program that includes corporate development. Since both careers seem interesting to me, I’m wondering which one would provide better exit opps in the future.
thank you!
Valuations:
— have seen exits to BB after 1 year (fill in exiting analysts)
— have seen a few PE exits
— easily go into a valuation role at a VC/PE company
— Had a lateral hire in my class that was pretty technically sound vs another later hire who came from a CorpFin background
CorpDev:
— check out the type of deals the company is doing
— I would think large tech like Cisco / PE owned companies like Genesys do interesting deals
— understand if company is acquiring LMM/MM revenue generating companys vs technological acquisitions
— really dependent on stage of company — I feel like the more acquisitive larger cos (Salesforce, Cisco, IBM, Adobe, Bill.com) have a steady stream of banking VP/Directors hopping back and forth — giving more opportunity to network and enter a BB.
PE/Banking —> Valuation (or mature co CorpDev)
Strategy/BizOps/FP&A —> CorpDev
Thank you!
Pretty good analysis here. I support.
