Angel Group in Philadelphia, VC in China, or keep looking?

i am a master's student in engineering. I am working for an 11MM angel group in Philadelphia, doing due diligence, sourcing and operations. I got a SA offer from the Shanghai office of a 65MM VC firm. They have been in SH only for 3 years and only made 1 exit. Both of these places are small so I basically do WHATEVER I want to do. My goal is to work in a VC full-time next year. Do I stay with angels, go to Shanghai or keep leveraging connections with the angels and my school (target) for some other stint?

Thanks

So you want to be in VC and have an offer to work at a VC firm....am I missing something?

Oh God the matching game again

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
