If you are very specialized in something that could help with VCs who need that focus

Not vc. Maybe PE - operations

Miss match of skill sets. VCs for the most part look for people with startup experience. If not then IB experience.

What does engagement manager mean? Like marketing?

I think it does but you need to be focused on the right VC firms.

I went LS strategy boutique to ~$1B AUM LS focused VC firm via an external recruiter that was hired by the VC firm. Thus they were obviously open to consultants.

The recruiter was acting on behalf of the VC firm so they (Korn Ferry) reached out to me

Fishes,
I was selected for product based organisation but a third-party consultancy scheduled interviews and followed with them till offer release.
They(consultancy) are calling me sometimes and checking with me whether everything is good to join( i think they might get some money if I join)
But i see it was downgrade in technology in that organisation so I might not join in product company.
How do I convey them I have 20 days remaining?
Feeling guilty

I have a brand new person on my team- she is totally new to the field, has recently returned to the workforce (solo mom of 3 teens), is very smart. I knew when I hired her that I’d have to lean in to get her to where she needed to be. She has a ton of potential but lacks experience in a professional setting. I need to help her level up her written communication skills. Any suggestions on books, resources, strategies? She is learning by doing and takes feedback but I want more supports for her.

Stupid question. In the H&S salary report, are the splits by size of the fund based on the fund itself or the PE firm? For example, Blackstone has 800b+ aum but any specific fund within Blackstone manages something less like let’s say it’s a $30b fund or a new fund that’s only raised $2b so far? Would the salary report be based on the company level aum or the specific fund (even if it’s a brand new fund that hasn’t raised much within a larger firm)? My guess is the latter or somewhere between.
