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

I'm interviewing at a SaaS company that has about 50 people. What's a good way to figure out how financially stable they are? What questions can I ask in an interview? I don't want them to turn around in 6 months and lay me off because the economy isn't doing well.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Anyone have any advice or insight on interviewing for a GS General Attorney position? I’m really excited and working to prepare for an interview I’ve been offered. It’s 3 part, on one day. 2 one on one interviews and a panel interview. For reference, it’s a position in an agency that’s involved in both trade and national security. I’m a litigation junior associate in private practice now, but have a long academic background in international trade, policy, and security.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
