Of the 3 options you list I'd say its Corp Fin (definitely not Dev or M&A), but it's not pure Corp Fin either.

I don't know your situation and feel free to PM me if you want to discuss privately, but assuming you're pretty young I'm not sure I would go for this unless it's an awesome company and/or you don't have many other options.

The reason I say this is that it's likely an extremely specialized role that doesn't apply to many jobs in the future. If you've already had a few positions and this is a differentiating experience then that's a different story.

My theory is always that once you have your core set of skills/analysis relatively well developed then differentiating experiences are awesome. However, building your skill set to do the main FP&A type roles should be priority #1.

I would put this more as a tax analyst role as a subset in corp fin. I would not view it a a corp Dev/m&a role. As the prior poster mentioned, I would have reservation about this role as it may lead you down that path.

That type of a role would be great in an FLDP program, but if you are not able to rotate out of it by the business, you may become branded.
