Hey All! As I mentioned in the video, banking is one of the best ways to break into VC. I spent a lot of time putting together an investment banking recruiting guide + also have my resume / cover letters available for sale at the link below. Feel free to check it out! ► rareliquidcareers.com/
Ben! Just wanted to say a huge thank you for these VC related videos. I start my VC internship in January and coming from a medical school background your videos have been so potent in bridging the gaps in my knowledge circles. Thanks sir! Keep up the great work!
@@rareliquidcareers RIP, I didn't manage to get in, there were 80 applicants for 2 positions. Managed to get into an Insight day of a Large mid-market PE firm (Inflexion) though!
@@perrytherobloxplatypus3025 haha that was 2 years ago, it's going well now. I'm working a bulge bracket bank as a tech apprentice int London. Even though it's not finance, I find that understanding financial concepts is useful for understanding the importance of my role and team since tech is critical for front office staff to do their thing. Might also try to switch to a short term Markets related role once I'm done as I find that interestingly and would like to try something different from tech.
That's interesting - a lot of the pros seem to more in line with the autonomy of entrepreneurship you've taken through RU-vid and rareliquid (talking control over your work, doing all of the research on companies, getting exposure to founders and start-ups etc) rather than something like investment banking, so this looked right up your street. Was there ever the temptation to switch, were you happy with IB, or is there more to it than that? Also, when is the Series A round for rareliquid coming? 😀haha
yeah vc is something i was highly considering but i enjoy entrepreneurship more! more control over my schedule and life no series A for rareliquid hahaha
No, its true, banking, VC, consulting, maybe even product almost are slaves to their work. usually career-oriented individuals who will have family later on in life
@@ZenityStudios I'm hoping to get into VC, I just don't want to feel the same pressure I did in consulting. Everyone watching everyone else on who gets in first and who leaves last kind of thing. It was a competition of who could work the most hours and go to the most "networking" work events etc. I don't mind basically working all of the time, if I can weave in things that are important to me, like going to the gym and family time. But then what I would do, put the kids to bed, hop back into work from 8-10 PM or something like that if needed for example. I just hate sitting in one building for 12 hours+ per day (banking/consulting etc)
