Corp Dev @ Surveymonkey/Salesforce good springboard to Growth or VC?

Hello all,

I realize there is a very similar post on this forum, but I wanted to get very specific here and ask if an analyst corp dev role at one of the two aforementioned companies is a good pathway into top tier VCs or Growth Equity funds?

Thanks in advance for any input!

Venture Capital Mock Interview

“"Sam was incredibly helpful during our mock interview session. Not only is he a genuinely nice person who creates a comfortable environment, but he also provided me with highly actionable feedback on my answers. When I prep by myself, I often find myself falling into rabbit holes and overcomplicating things without realizing that my approach might be wrong. Sam immediately recognized these pitfalls and pointed them out clearly. His direct guidance on how to structure my answers has given me a concrete path forward, helping me avoid spinning my wheels on inefficient preparation methods. I really appreciate his constructive criticism and look forward to implementing these changes immediately”

Asperiores aut aut et. Soluta aut quisquam cumque tempora. Quaerat repudiandae temporibus magni maiores eaque quasi. Voluptates eaque dolore modi asperiores inventore velit cumque.
