Currently at a BB focused on tech, and have an offer from a 3rd tier early VC.

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?
