Transitions to Venture Capital?

Anyone ever made the transition from IB to VC? If so, what did you learn from IB that translated? Current college junior with a passion for getting into VC and wanted to know if there’s anyone here with experience in how to get your foot in the door or things you learned in IB that you use in VC. Thanks!
