I am just beginning my first year at a top 5 Bschool this fall and looking to make a career switch from strategy consulting to venture capital.
I am interested in hearing people's feedback and ideas as to how to break in. In discussing this with colleagues and have created a few ideas
1) Go to work for a startup in BizDev of Product management - P&L responsibility
2) Go the IB/PE route then transition to venture
Any thoughts?
Some background info..
a. 3 years strategy consulting mostly fortune 50 clients.. pure corporate strategy no sourcing/supply chain stuff. Tier 2 boutique firm.
b. masters in engineering for stanford - hardware focused (semis)
c. mba from top 5 university (coursework will be mostly in finance and entrepreneurship
