How do their comp ceilings (& comp NPVs) compare in the UK? What is the comparative /relative probability of getting to the very peak of the respective careers? How frequent/common  is promotion?

How do they compare in terms of job security in the UK?

What unique skills are neccesary for a VC career that are not neccesarily required in IB or PE? Are there any unique things on needs to bevom competitive in VC recruiting?

How is VC recruitment structured in the UK?
