Benefits Of a Career In Business 
It provides a crash course in technical areasWhen you work on a proposal, typically a four- to six-week effort, you’re expected to learn quickly and become an “instant expert” in the subject area. The pressure-cooker environment of proposal work requires you to dive deep to understand the latest innovations, newest technologies and best practice approaches to specific issues. Working alongside senior technical experts who bring expertise but need guidance on how to package it into a compelling proposal, you have the opportunity to learn from the best.
You’ll work closely with leadership and senior expertsWorking closely with the leadership of an organization provides an opportunity to learn from the brightest as well as access to top management. You have the opportunity to get noticed by those making hiring and career advancement decisions. It’s not uncommon for business development professionals to move more quickly up an organization’s ranks when they impress their superiors with their work ethic, creative solutions, and/or ability to tackle a challenging project.
It’s a valuable skill that will be marketable for the rest of your careerEmployers highly value business development experience because it is so critical to their organization’s livelihood. Individuals who work within a GovCon organization will ultimately work on a proposal at some point in their careers. Even if you later pursue a project management or technical role, you’ll undoubtedly need to get involved in business development in some capacity. Already having some exposure will make you a more competitive candidate for many different types of jobs.
Positions often have fewer applicants and offer higher salariesPerhaps because they aren’t roles that people initially envision when pursuing a career, business development positions often receive fewer applications than program-focused positions at the same career level. Business development fuels a company’s growth. Companies reward growth with higher salaries and bonuses.
