I’s think you’ll see two ends of the spectrum:

  • large F500 companies that have graduate schemes (2 years high potential graduate programmes with rotations), which sometime have openings in BD/corpdev as part of rotations
  • smaller corporates where hands are needed

Overall, corpdev is a small world, not like IB, and is not a good world to train graduates (everyone too senior / too busy). In my team we wouldn’t even hire at the senior analyst or junior associate level.

If you want to go to IB, just go to IB. If you do one of the above, unless you’re luck and get solid deal experience, you’ll need a red hot market to lateral into IB and will likely take a step down on level. Or have to wait until MBA
