Sorry OP, BCG DV is not MBB. Take the VC route

Seems pretty obvious to get VC experience if that's your long term goal.

Tough question. I would think if you want to do VC post MBA then having VC experience would be better. MBB offers more flexibility/opportunity on the backup plan though

Ok so MBB then

Not sure how experience at a small fund would help get into a larger fund post MBA vs having the MBB branding help. Everyone knows MBB which has a history of placement of funds which is why I was asking. Sequoia might not know of a small 100 AUM fund that invested in early stage companies, but they'll know of BCG

Definitely VC

Take the VC role, the later you get in your career the more difficult it gets to crack that world if you haven't already spent time in it.

VC assuming you already work at BCG. You'll have both on your resume for post-MBA VC

I wish I had these problems

There will be hundreds of post-MBA MBBs wanting to go into VC. Presuming going from small VC to mid/large VC gives you a better chance.

PWC2 don't work there have an offer from BCG Digital Ventures (more product dev focus)

C where are you now?

I'd still pick VC. The VC world is small everyone knows someone at all size shops to a degree. Whatever firm you're at now gives you some branding credibility if youre at like a Tier 2 (albeit not MBB level)

That's true as well M3! Thanks for the responses everyone. Anyone had a similar situation?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
