Help! F500 Corp Dev. vs. Stay at Big 4 Audit vs. Early Stage Startup?
Originally thought my path would be B4 Audit ---> IB -----> VC------> B-School-----> VC. I realize now that I don't want to stay in audit, and so I decided to get out as soon as I can rather than wait. I still want to attend a top B school with the ultimate goal of getting into VC (and possibly even starting my own VC firm). Which option do you guys think is the best for both of those goals? (i.e. which option has the best shot of getting me into a top B school AND VC down the line?
The early stage startup role is sales, which isn't something I have a background in and I don't know how well I would take to it, but I like the company's mission. The startup just received Series A funding. The base is obviously much lower (about 60% of the other 2 options) but comes with equity.
The corp dev role uses the accounting knowledge I've gained so far to work on value add transactions for the company- base is the same but the bonus is about double and the performance discussions will come up at the end of the year. As far as pay goes my current firm and the corp dev gig are somewhat of a wash (although the corp dev gig does come with overtime).
What would you guys do if you were me and why?
Any insight on this is appreciated.
Thanks,
Otto
