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.
I don’t have enough info on your future recruiting prospects to make an informed recommendation about whether you should sign
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?
