Post-MBA VC Salaries are similar to PE

How true is it that post-MBA VC salaries at top shops (eg. Sequoia) are similar to PE and IB associate salaries? Or is this only true for San Francisco.

How feasible is it for people to transition to VC from IB as an associate? Is it just all cold networking to get in?
