Imo these are in completely different tiers.
General Catalyst is a tier 1 VC, not sure what Thrive is but have heard the name somewhere.
VC comp has a higher standard deviation firm to firm but shouldn’t be much lower than BB IB
Really? I had always thought VC was a significant haircut to IB at the junior level.
on Thrive — it’s a newer firm led by Josh Kushner (brother of Jared Kushner). They’ve done some high profile deals like Instagram, Robinhood, Affirm, Lemonade, Opendoor, and Compass.
Thrive is very very good. If you got a job there it would be silly not to take it.
I agree with this. GC is much stronger than Thrive. Also get the impression that GC promotes more from within, whereas junior folks at Thrive all leave after a couple years.
Any insight into comp & hours?
