FLDP Pivot - what’s next?
Hello! I am a 28 diverse female graduating from a top 50 defense FLDP. I've done roles ranging from Contracts Negotiations, FP&A, Corporate Dev/Venture Capital (6yrs of exp). Went to a state school for undergrad and trying to figure out what's next for my career. I am interested in B school and pursuing Venture Capital realm outside of my current company. Can anyone share avenues I might not be thinking of or opportunities to pivot in toprivate equity? thanks!
You'd likely be a good candidate for business school if you know for sure that's what you want to do. That would likely be the path of least resistance into VC as well.
It might help to provide a little more background on your career trajectory. Did you do 3-4 years of work before starting the FLDP, or was the FLDP a 6 year rotation? Since you seem to already have CD/VC experience in-house, are you trying to pivot to a dedicated VC house or just any other VC arm of a company?
I know ppl who did FLDP at Northrup/Lockheed and moved to Corp Strat/Corp Dev within the company or did MBA and moved to IB at BB in NYC
I don't think shes trying to go BB IB in NYC. Not that it matters here, but BB IB out of an MBA is pretty easy to get and there is no pre-req experience required, just an interest/desire to learn.
