Hi everyone,
I've searched around and it seems like, as a Pre-MBA associate, you should expect to work banking level hours (or more) if you are at a mega buyout fund (KKR, TPG, and the likes). I was wondering if anyone has knowledge of the work/life balance at a major VC firm? My guess is that hours in VC would likely be fewer, but this is complete conjecture.
Thanks!

I've worked pre-MBA at a brand name MM PE fund, growth fund and VC fund, each with $1B+ funds and significantly higher AUM.
My IN OFFICE hours were this: MM PE: 8am - 10pm on average, could be much later or a littler earlier based on staffing that week
Growth PE: 8am - 8pm on average, could be 10pm/11pm or 7pm based on staffing that week
VC: 8:30/9am - 6:30pm (but there are a lot of networking events, dinners, etc so define it how you want)
Don't mean to derail this thread but would you say you were making similar $/hours between the 3?
