Is it a bad idea to join a first time VC fund as a Sr Associate as a PL at BCG? I expect itll be a massive decrease in comp (TC ~300k to ~150-180?). But its a topic thats interesting to me and the hours will be better

You make $300k as a PL @ BCG???? Do your homework on VC. I almost took a VC job from an EM role. Then I saw Morningstar returns for most seed/series A funds (<1.0x MOIC) and talked to a bunch of people. I would only do it if you trust the people you’re in business with and that there is a path for you. Even at high performing small funds with good returns they mostly use the associates as schmuck insurance analysts and then kick them out after 2 years. Now I’m in PE but maybe that’s because I don’t have a Twitter or a medium.

Helpful, makes a ton of sense

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
