Corp Dev Offer?

Currently have an offer in the Bay Area from an established tech company that comes out to around $130K after bonus. No equity. I am finishing up my first year at a BB. Is this in line with what I should expect? The no equity component is a bit disappointing but I guess the upside is minimal anyhow given the stage of the company.

Really got to move past just the financial aspect of your current role and make sure you come across as someone who thinks like a client. I think one of the pitfalls of recruiting for corp dev is that because its relatively similar to aspects of banking (and not as intense as PE), applicants approach them like "easier" banking interviews which is the wrong way to go about it. 

 

For sure, I was offered corp dev and only got paid 95k. Was explicitly told much less hours though.

 

Took a corp dev role in Bay Area after almost 2 years for the same comp. Good comp. You'll feel better about it once you starting signing off at 7 every day and have a life.
