What are possible career paths for VC investors beyond growth within their firms? What skills should VCs pick up if one wishes to switch to an operator role?

In my experience it is difficult. Even for consultants. The skills and temperament you acquire as an analyst and as an exec operator role are very different. Just knowing is not good enough for doing. Otherwise people would learn swimming / driving by correspondence.

PM vs VC track.

Yoe: 2 years Tc:32 lpa fixed. Bg: top 5 IIT, 2 years of PM experience where I led two major 0-1 products to completion independently and had a direct revenue impact of around 25 Cr. At a crossroad in my career where a top partner in a tier 1/2 VC firm wants me join his investment team (nothing concrete, just expressed his interest in a gathering). Was curious as to how the VC career ladder looks like! I was always interested in a VC career. Just afraid, whether there will be any exit options say 5 years down the line if I want to move out or get stuck. All advice, opinion, help will be appreciated. Thanks!
