How do someone get in?
Various ways to get in but below is the most common way funds hire (think 80% hiring follows this template)
Analyst - go to a branded school +2-3 years of MBB
Associate/AVP - strong operating role for 5-6 years in India followed by M7 MBA in US/pre MBA analyst experience
VP/Principal - strong operating/consulting background + prolific Angel investor
Partner - rarely hired, usually grows internally from Principal level or start your own fund after a successful founder exit
Interested in Associate roles but generally the career pages are empty. Do we need to approach someone ? What would be a good way to start searching?
How’s the environment right now? Better than 6 months back? Or does the slump continue?
Environment is better than the last 6 months but far far away from the peak markets.. growth deals have started to pickup in Q3.. companies are constantly pegged to public market multiples even at series B/C.. however all the funds have a lot of dry powder so there are a few crazy (10M seed chqs) for highly pedigreed folks
Thanks for getting back Why growth deals? Seed startups now struggling and hence okay with low valuations?
Which sectors are you the most bullish on right now?
AI, climate and D2C brands
@TiredBirch1 good to meet you here. I look at climate investments at my fund as well
Quick question: where are you on vol. carbon markets? Yay or nay?
What are the salaries 5-10 years down the line-Indian context . How does it compare to careers in consulting and PMs at big tech money wise. Can you quote some figures/range for the time line?

Hey folks, I've cleared my interview to join a VC fund as an analyst in Bangalore ($150-200 Million AUM). Happy to answer any questions about the process or doubts the community might have.
