Seeking advice for a career transition: how hard do you think is to transition from PM to VC/PE? Do you have some suggestions, and what are the pros and cons you see from such a change? I have 2 years PM experience, and 1 in strategic consulting (MBB). As a PM I have been involved in many commercial Due Diligences for products we acquired, and I enjoyed them quite a lot. Thanks!

Hi Fishes,

Need your honest opinions, I have offers from India (InMobi) and Luxoft, Poland.
India offer is 10% more as compared to Poland one in terms of CTC, India offer has handsome joining bonus and stocks as well
My aspiration is to work in abroad & travel , but not feeling comfortable to go with a lower salary there
I am a Cloud & DevOps Professional with 7.5 YOE
If I miss this Poland opportunity now, do you think I will have possibilities of getting onsite jobs in future at this level?

Hi all! I’m applying to NYU tax llm and I’m pretty confident I can get in,but it’s unlikely I’ll receive a scholarship.
