How hard is it to exit to VC?
As an analyst who dislikes banking, how tough is it to land at a VC? No looking for A16z, just the industry more generally?

Hard, path is usually ib -> growth equity -> operating experience-> get lucky -> VC seat
Would this be for an associate role in VC? For some reason, I thought you could just exit to VC right after IB?
You can not sure what the other poster is on about by saying the above path is 'typical' lol
Maybe depends on your industry group. I got vc interviews..
