Abroad sounds awesome! How’d you find that opp?

It’s through a management fellowship with Alter Global (VC firm)

like

Depends on your long term goal. If you really like your industry, I would go with VC and pivot to startup if you don’t like it

Where did you end up going? Looking into Alter fellowship now and wonder how the experience is?

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

To many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor. It’s time to consider pivoting.

And it needs to change.
