What all skills are required to get into VC if one has a consulting background before?

Dynamic strategy consulting background (6 YOE) looking to shift to sales/BD.

I know how to sell and build relationships/report.

Does that sound interesting to anyone? Hoping to get to work soon.

Hello Fishes,

Need your input please

If i get lowballed package with good learning curve. Is it better idea to stick to it for next eight month and make another switch to recover the loss? Or should I search better job ? I have only 20 days left in notice

Anyone here started their own government contracting company and subcontracted with other Primes? It’s been something I’m leaning towards as I’ve been building the network for it. I know it’s a bit niche, but would love to hear about other’s experiences.

When you look to choosing a position to apply for and lets assume you get to be choosy - will you go for a org with big HR team or smaller HR team? Currently an hrbp for a medium global org with 10 hrbps in the Americas org supporting different groups/ regions like i support canada and a business group - looking at a role where hrbp report to sr hrbp and she reports to Vp of HR. The TA Manager reports to the VP of Hr as well. Sounds like a smaller HR team - are there any benefits to this move?

What’s the promotion timeline like at meta? Is it YOE based on work based? I’d be coming in a lead counsel

I just got a new job, but it's not what I expected. I was expecting a career opportunity and a chance to learn and grow in my field, but instead I'm stuck doing the same thing as before, just from home.

I’ve got a friend in Dubai who has experience in IB and VC at junior levels (in London and Dubai) and would like to break into consulting. He’s at a small cap VC at the moment and works not that challenging, and he wants to break into MBB or tier 2 for strategy. Anyone happy to look at his CV?

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

How would you approach an interview process where the company sounds exciting but you feel confident the role would not be a growth opportunity for your skill set?
