Treasury or FP&A to get into Corp Dev within Tech (Intern)
Currently have two offers for treasury at a f500 tech company and FP&A at a $10B tech company. Curious if treasury will pigeonhole or will it give relevant experiences for an eventual pivot to corp dev?
Gotta give the board some sweet swwet comp details. Isn't FP&A at unicorn tech company a dream? Free massages and unlimited RSUs?
Corp dev is competitive, what did you do before? That's probably your binding constraint more than anything else at first glance.
LOL unfortunately the unicorn company isn't known for their benefits but rather high cash comp.
My prior intern roles were in fp&a and PE but not sure if that adds weight to my candidacy for corp dev.
So….$225k base?
All else equal, take the FP&A role, it isnt even close. The skill set you'll develop will be much more transferable.
Skillset for treasury won't translate to corpdev. Most of treasury is going to be modeling out daily/weekly/monthly cash inflows and outflows by account by entity and determining where and when cash needs to be moved. Maybe you'll do some more esoteric stuff related to credit facilities and forex. None of that has anything to do with the corpdev skillset (due diligence, running a sale/buy process, working cross-functionally, financial modeling, executive-level presentations and deliverables). FP&A at least hits on a few of them
FP&A is better, I work corp dev at a tech firm and we will bring FP&A along during the M&A process to help our with some cost modeling/financial due diligence and they are routinely consulted for capital allocation. It is not an easy path though, you really need to make some friends in high places to make a move.
