Google到PE/VC-建议？
大家好 - 感谢您提前的任何意见，也希望我将其列入正确的论坛。我会尽力保持这一简短。
I'm currently 27 y/o working as a Sr. Project Manager for a boutique Azure-focused consulting firm (I was employee 26, now at 350+), and I just accepted a Program Manager role with Google in their GCP Professional Services organization. I have a masters from Northwestern in Information Systems, and an undergrad in Business Admin. I started out in software sales and have taken some turns from there.
PE/VChas always been interesting to me so I am considering anMBAin the next 2-3 years after I get some experience within Google/a chance to make some connections, and was considering trying to make a jump to CapitalG or Google Ventures (or an outside shop).
Obviously there's subjectivity to this, but how feasible of a jump would this be? What should I be looking to study/become proficient in ahead of time? What kind of roles are typically available in aVC/PEfirm? Any misc. advice is appreciated too.

Hey btschmult, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
路径MBA>IB>PEmakes sense if you are more interested in buyout type roles.
If you are对风险投资感兴趣then that path isn't necessary as far as I understand. Having entrepreneurial experience that you can leverage into aVC角色可能更有用，如果您倾向于这种方式，可能会更有趣。
弗朗哥谢谢你的答复。我正在寻找something on the relationship management side of things (if that even exists atPE/VC公司）。我可以访问我计划使用的9/11 GI法案（我是以前的MIL）MBA所以我可能会做一个MBAat some point regardless of which route I took. The role I accepted with Google will be dealing a lot in relationship management and strategy with 3-4 of their enterprise clients but with a tech focus obviously. I enjoy this kind of work and figure it can transfer conceptually, I just wasn't sure if a similar role existed and if so, what would I need to be proficient in to be considered for it.
Please look into UChicago. Pretty sure they fully pay for veterans'MBAif you can get in. A few other schools like this too
Had actually considered their part time program while at Google as I live in Chicago anyhow, and the part time is slightly less competitive than the full time gig. I took the GMAT and scored 67.. Figure it'd take me ~2 years to complete, and during that time I could be building relationships and making the connections to jump over to CapitalG or Google Ventures. Is there a particular program or emphasis within Booth I should be looking at?
670 GMAT*
Honestly, with your current profile, chances are slim to none. Just being honest, 670 GMAT is very borderline if not weak for anyM7MBA。If you had amazing WE, that could maybe make up for it, but your work experience is average, nothing special. Google is a good brand, but program manager isn't that sexy of a role and definitely won't turn heads forVC。PT program is U Chicago is a good program, but it won't help you switch intoVCas the main point of the program is to get the education while staying at your current role. At a PT student, you don't have as much access to recruiting as theFT学生和您没有时间去做学院实习之类的事情来尝试获得相关的工作经验来跳跃。Capitalg和Google Ventures的竞争力非常有竞争力，如果您是Google的明星PM或类似的事情，他们可能会例外，但对于计划经理来说，他们的不太可能。
如果您想让我为您绘制一条通往VC，我说您应该大力推动尝试成为Google的产品经理，然后做几年，然后尝试跳到VCimmediately, or buff up yourMBA申请并返回FTMBA晒黑M7并利用它来尝试跳入VC。即使这样，VC如果您没有某种投资或购买商学院的背景，那么很难进入，甚至更加艰难。挑战VC是很多人都有有趣的背景VC。The bar to enter is lower than inPEwhere a more technical skillset is needed. That means that all types ofVCs被各种有趣背景的人们的应用所淹没。学术，销售，市场营销，工程，产品等。您需要找到一种脱颖而出的方法，这很难在他们可能在Google上拥有的成千上万的计划经理中的一位。
FWIW - I took the GMAT on a whim as a gauge of where I was at, I could likely push closer to 700 if I studied for it. This is the advice I was looking for to be honest so thank you for the input. Out of curiosity, what makes Product Manager more translatable?
