Note: all of the above are from the perspective of a large,
multi-sector firm — with fund sizes over three hundred to five
hundred million dollars. I'm sure it's very different in a smaller
fund with fewer partners.
Finally, notice I did not mention that "saying no" was a
hard part of the job — it's just part of the job — and that is
the trite answer you will see a VC give on a panel when asked
what the hardest part of the job is. But you actually get used
to that part of it.
In conclusion, I am very thankful for the job. But there
are many days where I ask myself why I chose this path and
daydream about being in a portfolio company as a senior
exec. The problem is that the longer I stay in VC, the harder
it is to get out and to do anything more useful.

year.)
Here are a few things we won't tell you:
