Hello,
I have an offer from both a VC and PE firm and am struggling to decide which one to take.
Background: I did an internship in a pre-seed VC firm in FoodTech and then was one of the first employees in a FoodTech startup. I decided that I wanted to switch industry to a) develop more hard skills and b) be somewhere with fewer ups and downs than VC and startup. Eventually, I landed on Finance. I have zero finance background so I'm aware I have to start from scratch and join as an intern (also good to see if I will like it).
I have received two offers:
1. Internship in a PE firm: Young firm, focus on pharmaceuticals, seems they have smart people working there from good schools
2. Junior Analyst in a VC firm (Series A+B): Something like a traineeship (essentially a one-year contract with bad pay:D). More difficult to evaluate the team since there are many scientists vs business peeps. I'd be in the FoodTech team, so right up my alley.
Right now I'm leaning towards the PE internship, as I think it would be more technical vs mostly evaluating incoming dealflow and that it would be easier to switch from PE to VC vs the other way around. I'm thinking there will be more opportunities down the line (Strategy, PE, IB, VC, Corporate development, and even startup). Plus VC is tough right now, esp. if you don't want to do software.
I'm aware it's difficult to give me input based on what I wrote but I guess I would just like to hear someone's thoughts about this.
