In what cases is VC worth it at the lower non partner level, given that it's top heavy and paths to partner don't really exist? And outside of pre MBA?
Seems like a very narrow field with narrow exits?

It’s totally different work than PE so if you find it substantially more interesting that’s worth it. I imagine you can sell the experience elsewhere in finance, to start-ups, and maybe to larger orgs in your specialized target industry too

Also pre-MBA it’s probably pretty flexible experience eg places like the IMF, policy jobs, anything involving working with, growing, or assessing businesses would find it relevant and a good indicator of specific skills

Being a junior VC is usually a fast track to startup leadership. I would argue if you’re a somewhat good junior VC you will have access to good companies. If you want to join one of those companies, it can be in a relatively senior role upon matriculation, or at least into a good learning role given your background. These types of roles usually pay well too >$200k plus a lot of equity

Also, forgot to add: not totally committed to the idea of working at a startup after or VC forever.

Junior VC roles can vary tremendously from fund to fund. Low performing funds treat junior vcs as the ‘catch-all’ resource for any job that needs doing - not very fulfilling. Better know funds are more likely to put you in positions of leadership and responsibility.

So with 60 days Military PTO, a pretty healthy vacation policy, good benefits overall and from what I am perceiving as a pretty damn good career path, almost like an Army officer career path, is this consulting career actually a pretty good gig? I mean, it seems like you can do just about whatever you want in Accenture, even if “consulting,” isn’t the path you want to go down long term. Are these people wining about comp, hours, and projects, just clueless to what the real world is like, and how much Military hours and “projects” can be? I don’t know I just feel like this is like the civilian equivalent to the Military, and not in a bad way, thoughts?

Does anyone ever question the possibility of going to law school?

I’m a 23yo female legal assistant working/living in Canada. I am completing my BA in hopes of continuing with law school after. But, I just turned 23 and I’m anxious about my love life and starting a family. I haven’t had a boyfriend since 2019 and I’ve poured my heart and soul into my education & career.

I’ve always wanted to go to law school since age 14. But I also want a husband/kids. I don’t feel like I can have both.
