What are VC interview processes like? If a partner at a firm reaches out and schedules time for a ‘chat’ is that an interview? Is it the pre-interview? Feel like online VC resources aren’t as good as PE. TIA!

Did you apply to a role and the partner reached out? If so, yes that’s an interview. Look at John Gannon

Sounds pretty sweet

OP, do you publish thought pieces to get your name out there? Or do you think this person got your name though a previous colleague/client?

Had an interview today, for RN OnCall position. This is an extremely difficult position, but I bring not only a preference to work the hours they need but the experience and credentials to qualify for the upper range of the salary (RN, MSN, CHPN, 5 years hospice experience). I asked for the range and he gave the range then immediately stated that I would qualify for mid range. My goal is to find a similar position to the one I’m working now and add 20-30% to my income, the high range would meet

Client recently offered me a job for an open req (industry eq SM). The work is flexible, the req is just to get me in the door but I decide what I want to work on (which I trust to be true). Much better culture, wlb, etc., but I’d be taking a 100k pay cut and be an IC with no team. Is it worth taking a step back in pay and responsibilities, or does it seem possible to get all in one?
