If you had to choose, what would be your ideal exit op into tech?

1. Top VC role (e.g. Sequoia)
2. PM role at FAANG
3. Google BizOps
4. Something else (what?)

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

VC. Just cause I like investing and working with start-ups. Path to do it might be highly treacherous given where I am. But ain't gonna stop hustling

1.

Easier to exit VC into an even better tech role and the carry at a top tier VC can be ridiculous.

1, i think. i know it entails long hours and lots of money. some of it might be fun though, getting to hear pitches and work on offers. maybe that’s only what the bosses get to do though?

followed by 3.

i don’t think the PM role would be chill at all, nor do i think it would be substantially more fiscally rewarding than 3. i think you’d be looking for another exit op after 2 lol

I thought referrals happen when the person being requested to refer you has personal faith in your talents due to knowing a thing or two about you/what you have to offer.

So then how does it work when strangers on Fishbowl anonymously request referrals from other strangers?

Guess I’m trying to understand how to leverage and use referral requests for myself if needed.
