I'm deeply skeptical of business types lately, which is why my buddies and I started our own company, sans suits. Maybe finding another group of misfit technicians would be more your speed. If you are interviewing for a job under a biz-dev cat whose only useful purpose is going to meetings, doing high-level idea and strategy work, and generally steering the boat, they're not going to be structurally inclined to invite you to get up in their business. (Which is where the real power in an organization lies, unfortunately.)
