Do VCs get impatient with founders taking 1 year+ in search of product market fit? Does revenue matter at that stage?

Friend asked to buy my SPG/marriott points. How would that work hypothetically? $0.027/SPG , $0.009/Marriott? (According to Points guy) & transfer to their account?

How do you motivate yourself to get out of bed when you’re having an anxiety attack and just want to curl up under the covers?

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!

Shaved my head! I might as well do something crazy if am going to spend more than a month at home. (M here)

Is this a good time to look for new opportunities? I'm hearing rumors about significant layoffs starting. Also, what is the salary expectation for a 3rd year in Chicago small firm? Midsize? Is there a big difference for suburban firms?

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Looking to do a career pivot into VC. Have 12+ years of B2B tech marketing experience with IBM, Google, Deloitte and a number of startups. Have skills in messaging, product launches, and sales and enjoy diving deep on my personal investments (all public companies beyond a few RSUs). Have an MBA in the back pocket too. Thoughts are to join as a marketing expert and learn unique VC investment philosophy. Any advice on how to break into the VC world? Just started networking/planning.

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?
