Lolz.

In my 2 years working with VCs, I got a pretty good sense of the VC culture. I think those guys would look down on any corporate role, unless it is a company like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc, or unless you leveraged your corporate experience to start your own company later on.

The way I see it, the things VC's value most are:

1) Significant startup experience (worked at a famous startup, started your own and sold it, etc)

2) Computer science degrees and Science PhDs

3) MBAs from Stanford and HBS

Just my 2 cents though.

Wall Street leaders now understand that they made a mistake, one born of their innocent and trusting nature. They trusted ordinary Americans to behave more responsibly than they themselves ever would, and these ordinary Americans betrayed their trust.

Nah its cool. I was just wondering. Im in the tech dept researching diff technologies and they told me if i do good work they are going to introduce me to the HR manager and then I can work in any department i want. Its a stretch, since im an econ major and dont understand much technology, like the science behind it, but they are keeping me around because i do understand feasibility and whether they should implement it or not. I am trying to figure out what role would be best so that I can parachute into VC in about 5 years.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
