[x] - In a group at a top BB
I'm in a good group at a top BB (MS/ GS / JPM ), and I decided early on that I hate IBD (so PE is definitely not the way to go for me). It wasn't just the hours, stress, and overall terrible lack of control over my life - it was also that I felt I wasn't learning about how to analyze...

Corporate Deal Teams

What b-school taught me about M&A
This was part of my $250k notebook. It sounds so simple... but the implications, at least for me, were valuable. Before b-school, I don't think I'd spent as much time thinking about M&A from the biz dev point of view as I should have. The challenge of most big public companies is that investors want...

Guys, first time poster looking for some advice here. I’m going back to b-school this year, and I’ve been researching different career paths. F500 corporate strategy has piqued my interest. On the surface, it looks like a lot of F500 companies have one department for CS and corporate (or...

Sales vs. Business Development
Hey Everyone, I see that people who get into VC can come from all types of different backgrounds, some of them coming from Biz Dev roles at successful start-ups, and I'm wondering what exactly this means.

Corp Development roles outside of tech
From reading up on previous threads, it looks like the vast majority of corp dev jobs are in the tech industry. Disney seems to have a great program, and I'm sure big pharma players do as well. What about all the other industry verticals? Are corp dev positions out of industries like consumer or...

Difference between Bus Dev and Corp Dev?
Can anyone explain the difference between business development and corporate development? Is there even a difference? Do different companies use different terms? I'm applying for jobs in both of these areas, and frankly the descriptions sound the same.
