I agree regarding leaving VC as an associate. Many of these positions are not partner-track. Also, in a world in which term sheets were being signed in 48 hours, it isn't clear what skills they've been building (no financial analysis, little-to-no due diligence, no deal sourcing).

Yeah, what skills transfer is there to a time of due dilligence that should mean something now versus being investor X in Wag’s Nth series raise because you can run digital shoulders with the big VCs and Ashton Kutcher…
