Fellow VC analysts/associates: what time do you guys go to bed? I’ve been working until 1-2am, Monday-Sunday in the past few weeks and I’m new to this job. Is this normal?

Oh wow. I'm in a very small firm (we're 3 GPs+2 ASCs) and our associates work hard, but probably around 8am-8pm Mon-Thu and half a day on Fri.

How does your week look like? Seems as maybe the filters in the top of the funnel (which are typically much more top-down GP style filters) are too lax so you have a ton of DDs to make. Would that be a fair assumption?

I’m not sure yet since I’m new but thanks for responding. Still trying to figure things out but seems like people are always up…

That sounds about right. Last week I was working 4:30am-1:00am pretty consistently. Typically work 4:30am-7:30pm providing I don’t have all of my projects stacked on top of each other

If you don’t mind me asking, what specifically are you learning?

I work at BCG and have been getting very wary of my employer trying to conflate making me very busy with teaching me a lot

Btw, my day starts at 7am / 7:30am just FYI.

I had no idea VC hours were that long - 7am to 2 am is worse than most banking analyat hours

Huge thanks to all who weighed in on my weight loss post. Have peloton-ed and cut late night food and can see results - with Wegovy as a backup. Thanks to all who commented. Next question - has anybody with larger male body (big shoulders barrel chested long torso short legs wide feet) found high end clothing that fits? I find luxury brands are limited, made for 5’5” androgynous 125 lb men. Tired of wearing overly baggy stuff. Ralph Lauren has been best so far with XXL slim fit. Thoughts?

Hi everyone, just received my Stock Option Agreement and am wondering if having a “Discretionary Nature of Plan” is common. Essentially, it says that the Plan is voluntary by the company and may be modified and suspended by the company at any time, which is very unsettling and weird to me. Anyone here had that experience?

Thanks a lot

How much would you consider investing on a company that’s ‘high risk’ in the sense that it is a social-media? The goal is to sell in 3-5 years. This has been created in an established market, has increasing site visits by the day and hour… the vision and market need is clear. The hustle of the team is undeniable.

What other questions would you want answered? Is 200k for 20% unrealistic?
