Having been part of the dot-bombs of the early 2000's I agree with his assessment.

No one can tell you what job to take. Spend sometime imaging yourself doing the job. You will never have enough information to make a rational decision. Whichever one you take you may regret not doing the other because neither outcome can be determined in advance.

Good luck

He's an experienced VC and I feel like he's very genuine in his offer. But, I really don't understand why he thinks that way. Never in a million years have I imagined myself as a VC.

I feel like he has the experience to tell whether I might make a good VC (and a crappy CEO) and I should take the offer. However that means kissing my startup goodbye...

He is in less of a position to know whether you would be a good VC than you are. It's not about him - it's about what you want. People generally do well at things they enjoy or feel is valuable. You are a bright person. I would be more concerned as to whether he knows how to be a good VC:)
