Looking at starting career betweenMBBandvcat a sand hill fund. I want MBB's versatility and hands on learning, butvc似乎是一条很好的途径，因为我认为比咨询比咨询更“可持续”（不再像大多数顾问一样辞职）和更高的薪水。我愚蠢地放弃MBB吗？

一点都不愚蠢，我宁愿在VCfund thanMBB, but the work is just more interesting to me. Really can't go wrong either way, choose what you think you will be happier doing.

Apologies for not organizing my thoughts here, hopefully this bullet dump has some info that's useful to you. For context, I've been in strategy consulting for a few years and have a good number of friends in VC* (edit: wrotePEat first) that have offered to refer me but I reached the conclusion it's not for me

  • FYI, exitingMBBtoVCis something that can happen, so choosingMBBdoesn't lock out the future prospect ofVC
  • 战略咨询可能代表任何职业的最佳早期职业培训（我不是说正规培训，我的意思是工作的指导模型和项目的结构方式非常适合学习基本职业技能） - 我的朋友VC(andPEfor that matter) have noted that the training itself is a lot weaker (note -- this is probably why mostVC/PEfirms don't have opportunities for entry level undergrads)
  • VChours may be a bit better, but it's not more 'sustainable'. MostVC工作sare a couple years then you're fired. In contrast, 'up or out' in consulting doesn't really become a big issue until you're a manager unless (a) you're really bad, (b) your firm overhired big time, (c) the partners are doing a bad job selling work
  • Consulting will give you exposure to big behemoth companies, vsVCwhich will provide exposure to startups or smaller companies. If you're somebody who is really interested in startups, I'd leanVC
  • You mentioned comp is slightly higher -- keep in mind that consulting comp is pretty much 2x entry level after your first promotion which will happen in ~2-3 years
  • Consulting andVCboth have a lot ofBS, but it is different types ofBS. Consulting'sBSwill tend to be in spending a lot of time on work you don't feel is important, vs VC'sBSwhich is a lot of schmoozing and 'networking events' type of stuff

My overall perspective: You can't go wrong here. If you know you're interested inVC或初创公司，请VC工作. If you're still learning what you're interested in, pickMBBand maintain excellent optionality (including optionality to VC). The 'consulting toolkit' you develop will benefit you for the rest of your life. Consulting also isn't a long term commitment -- most people do it for a few years then bounce once they develop a stronger sense of what they're interested in, so long term sustainability really should not be a consideration

Again apologies on the lack of structure - hope this helps
