Is it hard to lateral in VC? Say I take a decent opportunity at a lesser known fund, would it be difficult to break into a top tier fund down the road?

I’d imagine it depends on what you accomplish at the lesser known fund and whether that translated to a top tier fund’s mandates… Would be an uphill battle regardless

No doubt this would be a hard nut to crack, but I have seen people achieve this.

How many of you have a "side hustle" in addition to your full-time job? I.e. consulting, writing, designing, etc. I'm curious how much more income it brings you annually and if you think it's worth it in relation to the extra time you'd have if you weren't doing it? I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of taking on a consulting gig that would be 7-10 hours a week, and about $22-25k a year, paid out on a monthly retainer.
