KPCB, Sequoia, Accel-KKR, usual suspects

Wouldn't exactly call accel-kkr a tier 1...

Accel-KKR does buyout and growth equity (and is very highly thought of in MM PE). I assume you both are referring to Accel...

Good luck. Unless you went to Stanford or have an existing network in the valley, it will be an uphill battle. Banking backgrounds aren't as valued in vc as they are in pe. Agreed on AKKR - very solid MM.

Accel is tier 1. AKKR is not in the vc game is the point I was making. KPCB has lost some of its edge. All about a16z NEA greylock etc these days but lots of these places won't consider bankers

Raviga or Coleman Blair for sure

How do you even break in as a banker

Looking for new potential work. I’m not desperate. I have an interview on Friday, if they hire me and I take it, I’m leaving a toxic work environment, very poor management and nosy coworkers for another Union job but I feel better RBI’s new job will have better work relations, room for growth and better management. However, I’ll be leaving 7 years and great work perks. How do I have potential new job to pay me my rate of pay and possibly give me some of my previous work perks.

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

Got a message from a Bain recruiter looking for experienced hires to start q1. I'm very interested but cautious because they're looking for a speedy process...feels a little rushed. Anything to be concerned about that I don't know? Like could this just be an attempt to get huge app volume or can I assume there's actually a chance if they reached out?
