Anyone here have experience / know about navigating recruiting to startups (VC-backed) for operating roles? Did MM banking and now a 1st year associate at a MM fund, went to a normal undergrad (UVA/UMich).
Have seen a bunch of people go to strategic finance or FP&A roles but want to make the direct move to ops, is that possible with no consulting experience?

Very very doable.
Say more please
Very doable. One of the alums at my school recently landed a VP of Operations role at a unicorn. Finished a well regarded LDP and was at the VP level at the firm. His direct report (Director of Ops) is a former private equity senior associate investor (typical 2 years IB / 2 year PE). I think the Head of Strategy at his company is a former PE investor too. A lot of fast growing corporates love hiring people with consulting / banking / private equity backgrounds. Strong at analyzing business problems and very technically sound.
