I am currently a lead in a data heavy multi-National consulting firm. However, I am noticing I have probably reached the top of the pay scale.

Does anyone think it would be possible to transfer my skillsets into the venture capital space?

Not really. It’s kind of like being a lead to a lot of a software developers to jumping into evaluating companies. Unless you were an industry analyst at a brokerage that used all the company data and market data to value firms, sales, and markets.

Never say never, right. Guess you’d have to see what roles VC/PE firms have that match your skill sets. May not be their core competency, but companies these days are so diverse, they have all kinds of roles and you may just find something that fits.

True. You could be a data lead at a VC but I wouldn’t expect the pay to be much different for a support function.

Now that, I agree with!

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
