Anyone willing to share tips on how to exit from MBB to VC? Is there a sweet spot for YOE in MBB to jump to VC? Also for context, I have 5 years prior experience with startups (pre-MBB) …. Kinda miss it and interested in jumping back from VC perspective

Idk but I’ve heard 2 years is ‘a’ sweet spot. 2 McK years=5 normal ones

Wish I could offer more but as you can see - I am not where you are 😁 I just see a lot of posts

Made the jump from t2 to VC in 2 years.

Would aim to focus on aiming for smaller funds that are just spinning up that can use senior associates (which is the typical post mba position)

C2, Can you please share what you know so far, if willing?
Your candidacy profile like academic background (bachelors, PhD, MD, MBA, etc.), consulting level/title, YOE, prior work type, or type of consulting projects you mainly worked on or that mattered to the VC(s)?
How you found the opportunity(ies)?
What the interview process was like? How to prep? Common pitfalls in your opinion? Any advice/lessons from it?
What you think was the tipping point in your process that got you the offer(s)?
What type of firm you’re joining (like team and AUM size, stage of investments like Series A or B or C, fund focus area like a specific therapeutic area or whatever)?
What level you’re coming in at? What the TC with breakdown ranges for the role you’re going in at us and perhaps the the roles you applied/interviewed for if you got far enough to learn that?
What trajectory you think you’ll be having or was told that you’d have at this firm?
How you believe this role and type of fund will impact your career goals (staying in VC here to partnership, jump to a different VC, move to PE, move to portfolio company, move to other industry role, etc.)?
What you think are the key good and bad differences between consulting and VC as far as you’ve observed throughout your journey to (soon) move to VC?
