Thinking about moving from MBB into VC. Is it fair to assume that the WLB will remain similar i.e., 60h/week? Is it more chill in small funds?

I work at a smaller fund (came from LEK) and can say definitively WLB is much better. You’ll work fewer hours but you’re somewhat on at all times. The distinction between work and life is less clear in VC

Following. I don’t have direct experience but I’ve heard it’s generally less hours with moments of intensity when you’re close to a closing, etc.

Are you getting pings from recruiters to possibly move into VC or are you targeting specific sponsors? Do you mind if I ask how many YOE you have at Bain?

like

Thank for the intel! No pings from recruiters but I’m curious about it. I did 4y at Bain

I’d say that it varies pretty widely. I don’t think it will be as bad as MBB though from what I’ve heard from colleagues

Currently a Principal at a VC fund. The Wlb is going to be dependent upon the fund’s culture so do your due diligence.

Any tips on entering VC after 6y in consulting (4y at Bain)? Also, I’m from Europe and would need visa sponsorship. Please let me know if this seems impossible to make happen!
