- Good understanding about relevant technology trend & market dynamics in traditional industry transformation in Asia & have extensive network with both VCs & growth-stage startups in Asian market

- I am thinking of the career opportunity at VP/Principle level at Growth equity funds/Late stage VC funds in Asia.
Question:
(1) What is my chance for this career transition? Wonder if this is too late? What would be the best approach for me to succeed at this career transition?
(2) Would the recruiting firms help based on my profile & current situation? If so, would be appreciated if you could help advise the recruiter lists.
(3) Any tips on how to know which recruiting firms work for any specific PE firms?
Thank you very much.
Following this thread - my situation is similar except I'm way more junior.
