Hi members,

I want to know how can I develop ability to help startups to grow. I'm in a VC firm (it's been few months only), in portfolio management team. This is my first job and I don't have a business experience, never did anything of my own yet.

Do I start something of my own? Do I join a consulting firm? Or just give a shot with startup and see how much I can add value?

Would like to connect and know your opinion.
Thank you

Had been working as a BA/PM role at a financial firm for 3.5 years and decided to leave corporate to join my family’s small business with the mentality I’d take things over. It’s been a little over a year and I’ve come to the realization that it’s not for me. Im looking to transition myself back to IT/Tech, but am feeling apprehensive in getting the attention of recruiters with the industry switch. Any advice from anyone that’s been in a similar situation?
