Why difficult? I have several friends from that team that have left to reputable funds

That being said, there’s not that many investment exits left. HF is almost impossible. VC is an option but tough given the extremely fragmented nature of recruiting.

Also folks at Lee Equity, Sverica, 3i. Somebody at TA a few years back.

Keep at it. Knock and eventually you’ll get in if u hustle
