I'm a rising junior and currently im interning at a VC firm.
Im working on a few projects and visited a few companies that the VC firm wants to invest in.
However my goal is to secure a BB IBD internship next summer, does a VC firm help me with that? I asked around and i heard mixed replies, some people say its an "amateur internship" while some other people say its good and will help.
Cheers





Yes and no. Really depends on
Yes and no. Really depends on how relevant the work you did is.
Depends on the VC firm's
Depends on the VC firm's reputation, the relevance of your work, how you can spin it in your interview/ on your resume. I think it'd definitely be useful at the very least. Maybe you could use it as a way to stand out because not many people do VC as a rising junior.
