Question 1

How do I get a job at a venture capital firm?

Accepted Answer

Most VC hiring happens through direct applications on firms' own career pages (which is exactly what this board aggregates), warm intros from portfolio founders or LPs, and campus/analyst programs at larger multi-stage funds. Investment roles are the most competitive; platform, talent, marketing, and operations roles at VC firms are comparatively easier to break into and are a common path into an investing seat later.

Question 2

Do venture capital firms pay well?

Accepted Answer

Base compensation at VC firms is generally lower than equivalent finance or big tech roles, especially at the junior level — the upside comes from carried interest (a share of fund profits), which vests over years and only pays out if the fund performs. Larger, established firms pay more competitively than small/emerging funds.

Question 3

What roles do VC firms hire for besides investing?

Accepted Answer

Beyond Associates/Principals/Partners, VC firms hire heavily for platform (portfolio company support), talent/recruiting, marketing and communications, finance/operations, legal, and technical roles (data, engineering) at firms running their own tools or research. These roles show up throughout this board.

Question 4

How often is this board updated?

Accepted Answer

Daily. Every open role here is pulled live from each firm's own Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby careers page — nothing is scraped from third-party job boards, and a role is removed shortly after the firm closes it.
