VC is totally different. Do you like numbers and valuations and (relatively) concentrated investments or networking and betting on dozens of companies?

Also: VC pays much less, returns are more striated, upward mobility at many funds is questionable, and experience is less applicable to other forms of investing

Is there any limitation or chances of facing issues on Not having laptop with me(for other exit clearances).
Also it would be great if someone can give guidance on exit clearances as I'm worried that I will miss out something.

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3.

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
