Interested as well. It seems that the fastest CF promotions in my company are in the FP&A team, so I'm trying to decide if I should stay in FP&A to move up a little faster and then to diversify my experience once I'm a manager, or if I should get broad experience (in Corp dev and such) first before trying to get into management.
A few questions to ask:

help me understand...this team would be strictly post merger integration? How's your company structured? Do you have a dedicated Corp Development team who sources/runs the target pipeline, executes the deal, etc then it gets handed off to this team for integration?

I'd probably make a move to this team to try to get to deal flow.
Typically though, merger integration is not part of valuation of companies. I would try to get to the business modeling / strategic acquisition discussion if you don't get there initially.
