VC fund I interviewed with has 100 AUM. 6 person team. When I started talking with them, they wanted me to do a 3 month internship. Figured it was fine because I was tired of consulting and would get my foot in the door. Now they’re telling me that they just raised another 100M. And they want me to intern for 12 months with no guarantee of anything at the end. Clearly isn’t a money problem with the new fund so……
