Q.1 As a social media manager, what are the biggest issues you’ve faced with the job?

Anyone quit consulting to join a well established VC firm? Would like to understand:
1. What level I could come in if I am a M in consulting. Will it be a smart move?
2. How much fund could I be managing per year? Is $500 M unrealistic?
3. Typically, with how many folks could I be splitting the fund? Read somewhere that you get 2% of the fund and you draw salary, office and travel expenses, legal fees and other operational cost out of this 2%

Contd.

I dread thinking about work and feel drained from my job. What are some good tips to keep up the focus and productivity? I want to become more efficient to not feel this way.....

My wife often calls me by 5:45/6 to ask where I am if I’m not headed home yet. Sometimes she’s stressed with kids/dogs/dinner and really wants me home. This really throws off my concentration because it makes me feel rushed. Like many practices sometimes I’m out at 5:30, other times it’s much later. Just depends and is unpredictable. Any advice on how to approach this?

Any financial analysts here?
