If I'm going through the process with a VC fund and decide I don't want to do VC now (but want to leave the door open in the future), what's the best way to drop out of the process? Don't want to waste their time but want to keep the door open as well

Send a very thought email to the recruiting team and then a direct email to the most senior person you spoke to expressing your gratitude for including you in the process and that you hope there is an opportunity to work together in the future? Just a thought idk

Very helpful - thank you so much!

Agree with A1. That should be viewed pretty favorably.

Just curious, what made you decide against VC and what do you want to do instead?

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
