Trying to break into VC
This is my first post! Thrilled to be here and chat with everyone. I'm posting because I'm working on entering into my first role in venture (focused on Analyst/Associate roles) and for the last few months have been inundated with rejections and interviews where I was "close", but not close enough to get the role. It has been a little disappointing and I do think venture has its way of been private with open roles +/ hiring based on school/existing investing experience. I have been actively applying and did a few interviews, but I'm still not getting there and it is starting to discourage me a bit. I have my B.S. in Math and currently at yr. 1 of my career, working in fintech and I work with startups, but I'd love to make the switch to investing because I love meeting founders and spending time evaluating companies and opportunities. I'm still applying to jobs and trying to reach out/network with folks. I'd love to hear from anyone who has advice or would like to chat about their journey into venture or how I should position myself a bit better to get myself across the finish line.
