How's the general WLB at VC firms? ( Top ones - Sequoia, Matrix, Accel, Elevation )

I personally know a few investment folks at Sequoia. From what I’ve heard, it’s much better than consulting firms. If you’re in the investment team, it’s almost like you’re in a “Sales on” mode throughout the week, trying to represent your VC firm to startups. You get to see a lot of decks, live demos, presentations, and weekends can have a little bit of work. When there’s a deal underway, working during the weekends is the norm, but lasts for just a few weekends throughout the year.

You’ll enjoy the job if you’re passionate about startups and the industry you’ll be handling the investments for.

I feel like working from home has been the death of my dating life. I used to at least go on 4 dates a month, and I was casually seeing a guy for a while. Post covid, I love my work-life balance but I'm never out. I can't meet people sitting at my desk, and I have no local coworkers to pull me out of the house for happy hour.
