Reneging from On-Cycle
Understand this might lead to some strong opinions. I rushed during on-cycle this year and signed with a firm without knowing what type of investing I really wanted to do (want to do buyout / late stage growth but signed with a VC firm). I basically interviewed with whoever gave me an interview and took the first offer
The only thing is that the VC firm is one of the most reputable ones and I'm not sure if I want to renege on them without any other offer in hand. Should I work with the other headhunters (not the one that placed me) secretly, receive another offer, and then renege? Or should I be honest up front and risk not getting a buy-side offer even though summer 2022 opportunities are almost all gone? Would another firm or headhunters care if I secretly recruited?
Dude I’d love that vc gig if it’s for NYC haha.
You could definitely keep looking but since the firm was in on-cycle they must be pretty big/MF. If it’s like an Insight, they do everything from early stage to buyout, so maybe won’t be the worst thing in the world.
Also, roles for 2022 definitely not over, plenty of smaller firms haven’t interviewed yet and will need people. Might not get a MF interview, but still many roles out there.
I went through somewhat of the same process. Essentially I reneged and told them the complete truth, and it worked out ok. Happy to DM you with more details.
Sorry to hijack, but could you share more about VC recruiting. Did you come from BB tech group?
