Is it common to do a associate/senior associate role at growth equity or VC post mba? Rather than a VP level? I have no pre mba buy side experience except commercial due diligence so VP seems unlikely

You won’t be VP (unless very small fund). Sr associate is possible but still hard because no pre MBA buy side exp

Depending on the firm, you may be expected to lead deals as senior associate. If you don't have the acumen to do that yet, you will likely start at associate.

America Securities is an example of a firm that hires VPs directly out of MBA

Definitely VC is more associate/ Senior associate. Tbh titles are all over the place in VC with every firm having different ones, so it can be weird to figure out

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something.

Any tips on dealing with the irrational?
