Tryna get some colour on corp dev/ strategy comp at UK/ EU companies, for post analyst stint in IBD, any guidance would be appreciated. Thinking about doing Corp Dev later down the line, but was wondering whether it’s best to target US businesses ( for potentially better comp?) or whether across London comp is generally the same?

Was recently in the process for a Corporate Development analyst role at a communications infrastructure company. Base was c.£75k with a 10-15% bonus. Manager base was between £90-95k I believe.

Compared to continental Europe simply not competitive. Post 2-3 years in banking very few and mostly junior roles that give like 60-80k. This city you got to be in financial services..
Ignore title.
I’ve worked in several corporate development roles from analyst-manager roles and UK/US firms.
Comp range for FS firms always higher than non-FS. I wouldn’t put too much weight on a US company paying more than a UK firm. Comp is generally the same for US and UK firms in London/UK from my experience.
The pay and career seem shit vs someone who went big 4 to get CA then work on the financial controller / finance director career path.
15 years down the road one is CFO of a small division with path to be regional heads while you are still a corp dev director only.
Lol
