What’s special about Corp Dev?

I recently accepted a position as an Analyst doing Corp Dev / M&A for a Fortune 500 company when I graduate in a few months and was offered 65k with no bonus opportunity. I’m coming from a non target school so I’m happy about the position, but are there strong exit opportunities into PE / VC for a position like this and does anyone have any idea if this salary is competitive or what increases may look like?

Would love any thoughts from those more experienced.
