Hi Everyone!!
I am about to start working in ValueLabs as System Analyst (DevOps Engineer).
I am really looking forward for the same and am excited about it. Can anyone who is already working share his/her experience over there, growth perspective, culture and other useful things. Valuelabs

What are you working for?
People here really confuse me
You want your resume to look better why? Why not just go for the job that you want instead of going through MBB or VC.
The resume gets you interview it does not get you the job
Coach
MBB is the place to go if you want to learn and try new things
The difference of signaling is not that hat significant between VC and MBB
So the choice should honestly be fairly clear
Mentor
There are fewer VC Associates than there are NFL players, and certainly MBB Associates. It’s a rare opportunity that most of my pals at MBB would’ve leaped for.
Coach
MBB role is on the expert track. Good money good opportunity but non-equity track (if you are staying long-term)
VC role is also good money, not the same progression as an Associate, non-partner track
If you want to stay long term go MBB
If you want to exit soon, go VC. You already did the consulting thing so mix it up a bit.
Ultimately you can appropriately frame any experience the way you want that will deliver you the most value.
Hot take - outside of the top VC funds, it’s a bad asset class with limited skills development. I would not take most VC experience seriously.
Totally agree S2
If you want to be on the buy side take the VC role. But VC is typically the end game, it is not a door opener. MBB names will carry way more weight in industry.
To answer your question directly, they’re different signals to different employers.
