VC fund I interviewed with has 100 AUM. 6 person team. When I started talking with them, they wanted me to do a 3 month internship. Figured it was fine because I was tired of consulting and would get my foot in the door. Now they’re telling me that they just raised another 100M. And they want me to intern for 12 months with no guarantee of anything at the end. Clearly isn’t a money problem with the new fund so……

So I have my bachelors in criminal justice and I just finished my paralegal certificate course today. My attorney should be making partner this year. With that being said I told her that I would complete my certificate by the summer around the time she would make partner. Should I mention to her Monday that I completed my paralegal certificate in hopes that the raise will be bigger or should I wait until June when she makes partner.thoughts?

So we want to make sure we’re effectively training her and providing the best resources/tools for success.
