Advancement Prospects
Business development (BD) professionals at a large PE firm with a dedicated business development department can advance from BD associate, to BD manager, to BD director. Advancement can also come in the form of pay raises and bonuses. Experienced and highly skilled business development directors may launch their own funds or be promoted to junior partner or general partner. There are also many opportunities in business development and sales at companies outside the PE industry.
