Switching to Growth Equity

I’m currently a MM PE Associate at a T2 city shop making 200-250 all in going into my second year as an associate. I’m interviewing at a niche but interesting Late Stage VC / GE (typically series C/D+) shop for Sr. Associate in the neighborhood of 300-350. I think I could get to an equivalent comp range at my current shop in the time it would take to actually start (would stay for a bit to cash out bonus), so for me the decision to stay vs go would ultimately come down to the actual work and lifestyle.
 

With that in mind, I’d love to hear perspectives from people who made the switch. I think GE fits my personality a bit better: I’m extroverted and I’ve been disappointed by the amount of time in PE that is spent on process jockeying and ad hoc analysis rather than true critical thinking. While there would be some of that dynamic in this role, a lot more of it seems BD oriented / actually meeting with operators and learning about their businesses.

A realistic perspective on the pros and cons from someone more experienced would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!
