Corporate Development programs out of undergrad

Hi all,

As said in the title, I am interested to recruit for corpdev (M&A /strategy) jobs out of undergrad specifically. I realized IB isn't for me after interning at a MM bank. Is there a list of programs I could find or could anyone recommend all the companies that have such programs?


Thank you. 

 

Intern in IB - Gen, hey, look at the bright side, at least you didn't get a ton of monkey shit thrown at you...here is my best guess on threads that might be helpful:

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

Here's a list I've collated for my (WIP) career guide - note that some of these are Strategy groups, some CorpDev and some combined:

  • AMEX (Strategic Planning Group)
  • Disney (Strategy & BizDev)
  • Capital One (Strategy Group)
  • LinkedIn (Strategy and Analytics)
  • Pfizer (Consulting & Execution)
  • GS (Firmwide Strategy Group)
  • MS (Firmwide Strategy & Execution)
  • Blackrock (Corporate Strategy)
  • BofA (Strategy and Management)
  • DE Shaw (Corporate Development) 
  • UnitedHealth (Corporate Development)
  • Home Depot (Strategic Business Development)
  • JPMorgan (Corporate Strategy Group)
  • Cargill (Corporate Development)
  • MassMutual (Immerse Program - placements in: CorpDev, Strategy and Insights)
