Operations work as Corp Dev Associate

Corp Dev monkeys, Unless you work in an F100 company with a rigidly structured Corp Dev team, I'm sure all of you are familiar with that random FP&A task, operations task, or any other cross-department ad hoc request that you have to complete sometimes. It's not a bad thing; These are requested from us because the execs, at least in my experience, tend to trust the cohort of ex-bankers and financiers with tasks that require high quantitative aptitude. What was the most operations-oriented task you had to do as a Corp Dev analyst/associate? Was this a one time deal, or were you staffed on an ongoing project for months? Was it related to your day to day work at all, or was it something completely random that you would have never guessed you'd be doing when you took the job?

Loved it or hated it?
