A relaxed role in a middle of the pack company that offers perfect WLB and a salary that allows me a roof over my head and food in my stomach.

MC very interesting- why did you leave VC then?
Huh? What you’re describing is not an industry wide requirement. I know plenty of people who;
A) Went straight through
B) Did B-school but no startup experience; pretty much investors from day 1
I’m sure it was the case in you’re scenarios, you have. I reason to lie, but I wouldn’t paint the whole industry with the same brush
