Possible but not common. Closing books monthly and reporting is very different than writing technical memos. I’m sure if you volunteered and had the right experience you could shift over.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
