FAANG no doubt. Check out Megan Quinn as an example. I would try your best to get into VC post mba tho

FAANG product management. VCs like people who have experience the product lifecycle.

I thought nowadays a lot of MBA programs enable you to jump directly into VC ( I have also seen my undergraduate friends jumping to VC) right out of college. I understand it must be hard, but have you thought about this route?

It’s like 2-3% of each M7 class gets into VC. It’s insanely competitive

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week.

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?
