has anyone moved from growth/vc to an ops role at a startup/growth company and then back to growth/vc? currently itching to move to ops for a variety of reasons but largely bc i don’t feel like im learning anything new. every day feels like im doing a lot of doing nothing. my WLB is great but its to the point where aim not stimulated and getting bored. i’d have to take a pay cut to do ops and thats the only thing giving me pause. thoughts?
