Startup vs VC

Hey I’m choosing between 2 offers - Chief of Staff at a Seed-Stage startup vs Investments at a Venture Accelerator. I’m lucky to have received both offers, but am now looking at factors I should consider while picking between both. If anyone has worked in the startup/VC space or might just have general insights, I’d really appreciate it! I’m looking to get into the VC at some point.
