Video Game Developer Corporate Development?

This is an area I’m interested in moving to in the next few years and want to learn a little more about the types of roles out there. Would love to hear any monkeys in this space share their experiences, particularly related to the following topics:

-Experience prior to landing the corp dev role?
-How important it is to have tech/media deal experience?
-Recruiting process?
-Flexibility on remote work? (Not looking move to California)
-Comp comparison to prior role?
-Day to day responsibilities? (M&A vs Strategy vs FP&A, etc,)
-Culture and common personality types in the industry

Lot of topics here but any input would be helpful. Thanks!
