Offer Analysis Help
Hi everyone, I am looking to crowdsource opinions on three offers that I have received (no exploding timeline, all off-cycle).
One is early-stage VC, one is traditional tech buyouts (a step below TB, H&F, Vista), and the third is GE.
Comp, responsibilities, etc. are fairly straight-forward.
Key benefits:
- Early-stage VC, ~$100M Fund III, focus on enterprise
- Joining as a principal with unlimited upward mobility (the ceiling is my own limitations).
- Could fail and be left with a hard road at getting back into traditional finance
- GE, Fund II is in the $400-700M range
- Small team, lots of responsibilities, international focus, fairly autonomous, Fund I was killer (10-11x MOIC net)
- Still jumping if I'm told to jump
- PE, many funds now, this flagship is well over $B
- Corporate cog-like environment where my nose is to the grindstone
Any thoughts or opinions?
Optionality tells me that going PE would set me up well, but the upside of the other opportunities is quite enthralling.
Needless to say the main questions are i)what type of investing do you like and ii) which will set you on a better career path to best reach your goal (whatever it may be).
Personally assuming you're indifferent to VC/GE/PE (all viewed similarly) I'd be inclined to go with option 2 or 3 and that would primarily be driven by i) culture ii) industry focus.
