Starting next week at an early-stage sector focused VC fund (think fintech, proptech, commerce tech, etc.). About $300M under management. What are hours like at this type of firm? Coming from T2 consulting that was ~60 per week but with minimal flexibility.

Heavily dependent on other folks’ backgrounds there. Usually between 50-60 though. What’s your comp looking like at that sort of fund if you don’t mind me asking?

Makes me feel like a burden for taking care of my health, etc. and gaslights me regularly!
