It's starts with shitty stuff like ensuring the MIS going to the board and VCs is good, but you end up getting a proper strategic understanding of the business considering you're responsible for keeping the current lot of VCs happy and helping get new ones.

How is Investor Relations as a career ?- Grapevine

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!

Hi Team, 

I am currently working in IT and was working in the BFSI sector. With time I have developed interest in Finance. 
Need suggestions on how to switch from IT to Finance. 

Any one who has experienced the same process please comment.

Should continue in IT or switch to Finance

Software Developer

I am currently in my final year, at one of the top commerce colleges in India. Pursuing Bachelor in Commerce and will also appear for my CFAL1 exam in November. 

I worked really hard for placement season, a few IB firms were expected to come but it doesn't look like they'll be hiring given the economic scenario. 

If someone holds any position in such roles like IB, Private Equity, Equity Research etc. could they please tell what I could work on and what the industry requirements are from a fresher? 

Also how do I go about applying off-campus, since I don't believe I'll be getting many opportunities On-Campus?

External Audit

Hi!

I have a professional dilemma and would appreciate any thoughts, advice and experience you can share.

I have a 5+ years in strategy consulting working for a Big4 - I like my work, team and the organisation 

Though, now I crave for some different experience - maybe work for startup’s or a VC firm

I have been offered a job in a boutique investment bank - which works with startup’s in India

My questions:
1. Is it worth switching for a Big4 to a Boutique Investment Bank - will it effect my further employability
2. Does this get me closer to my goal of working for a VC fund someday?
3. What salary hike should I ideally expect 

Thank you in advance for all the help!

Hi,

Any internal or ex-internal auditors here ? Good day y'all. If I may ask, How was your career trajectory? How much are you earning now after your experience?

If you have moved or planning to move to any different domain, what is your rationale behind it ?

Sorry in advance, if my questions are seeming more like an audit enquiry😅😅

Hello everyone,

Saw quite some people doing AMAs on this platform from VCs to Engineers, but nobody from Founder's Office roles.

Knowing that this role is somewhat new in the job market, not many people still know a lot about it. Shoot your questions, would answer them to the best of my capacity.

Background: Worked in the FO role for 2 FMCG brands, before joining a Fintech where I am working right now. Graduated from BIT, Mesra in 2021, but started working alongside my graduation coz of COVID.

AMA - Working in Founder's Office from past 3 years.

Hi i work in Investment banking (back end) profile. However after 4 years of spending in this team, my team has been changed to valuation team. The work in this team would take time for me to adept however to be frank I don’t like the work at all and see it to be not useful outside the team.
