Currently at a BB focused on tech, and have an offer from a 3rd tier early VC.
Would it be any useful to go a firm like this? Or would it be more useful to wait out and transition into a better named firm like a Tier 1 like A16z, Sequoia (albeit very unlikely). Thought?

a16z and sequoia don’t really hire bankers from what I’ve seen. For tier one VCs I’d look towards Kleiner, IVP, NEA, Meritech, etc.

Would you say a corporate VC at a large tech company would be better than a small VC (200-300M in fund size) but known in its specific space?
