Recent Venture Capital Interview?


I had a recent preliminary interview with a venture capital firm on Wall Street. For one I was surprised the firm would even spend the time contacting me because I have had no previous finance experience. However, I feel I would add benefit to the firm nonetheless. I had an initial interview with the firm on a video call. I was a bit disappointed by the situation in the end. I felt as though the interviewer was all tensed up, and was sort of grilling me. This was okay, but seemed a bit strange. I felt uncomfortable by the video call, because it was hazy, and I wasn’t able to use my body language to draw the interviewer into a good connection with me. The questions were kind of blah general and when I attempted to answer them, if I didn’t say what he was looking for he seemed to get an irritated look in his face. I am a nice person, but he kind of set the tone in a way like he was trying to control the interview. This doesn’t mean he is smarter than me, I guess he just likes to do that. He said he needed to discuss possibilities with members of his firm about it. I feel like this interview mainly went wrong because of his demeanor that comes from the stress from his job. This demeanor I think helped me not answer the questions to the best of my abilities, and afterwards I was thinking, well that I could easily have said much better. I also feel like more things could have been talked about. Any of you have a situation like this, or advice about what I should do? Should I wait and message him later, I feel like he is a busy individual under high stress that doesn’t have much time for things. Should I tell him I have talked to presidents about specific numbers of capital they need and try to link them into deals focused on their niche? Should I just move onto the next firm, and wait to hear later, or run a message to them?

Would You Go To Work In Venture Capital Or Go To School More?


I know for some of you this might be a silly question, but my parents have different thought processes then me. I have an interview with a venture capital firm on Wall Street coming up and am excited about it. My parents on the other hand think I should go on to future education which I have been offered a full tuition waiver through my professor. Granite this school is not where I really want to go anyways. My professor has a lot of friends at more prestigious schools though and said to me, do you want to go to this school; I can talk to my friends there for you. One is an IVY school and the other is a close to IVY school. The thing is, this degree is not an MBA, but would give me more knowledge on the venture capital industry I am interested in. If I went to one of these schools I could potentially get into one of the IVY business schools. Or I could say these educational opportunities are of no interest to me, and I can try and make my bones at this job if I so happen to am lucky enough to get accepted after the interview. The interview will go well if they ask mostly questions about my scientific background and work experience related to their investment niches.
