I am a Mechanical Engineer from one of the top IITs. Got a day 1 consulting job (tier 1 firm). It's been 1.5 years in the job and I want to switch to VC. Due promotion by the start of 2025.
Recently interviewed with a new US based early stage VC firm (remote job), cleared the first interview and the case study, final interview didn't go amazingly well. They just wanted one Associate and I wasn't the best of the lot, got rejected.
My job role actually says 'Business Analyst ' so I get outreaches for Analytics roles mostly.
How do I enter into VC in India (early stage smaller fund-size VC firms preferred) ? What are the do's and don'ts? What would be the best time to target such roles? How should I prepare? Who should I reach out to and how? How should I shape my profile?
Will it pay me as well as consulting? What are other options that I can consider apart from consulting (I was thinking about Strategy roles in startups/ founder's office).
GV fam help me please!
