Venture Capital Candidate Profile

Hello 

I am trying to check if my profile is a good fit for VC position before I start hustling for a position: 

1- PhD in Engineering - GPA 3.91 /4.00 honors

2- 7 years of industry experience - automotive - Autonomous Vehicle 

3- 6 months in management consulting - Boutique Firm - Consultant 

While my experience in consulting is short, what level (analyst, associate etc.) I should aim for? 

Thanks !
