How To Get A Job In Venture Capital

One of my favorite VC posts of all times was my partner Seth Levine's post titled How to become a venture capitalistI regularly get emails from folks looking for a job in the VC industry and I almost always point them at this post.

Seth has followed up with a new post titled How to get a job in venture capital (revisited).  It's updated with some additional information for those that respond to the first post by saying "I get it that it's hard, but what should I do over the next five years to position myself for a VC job.

Both make up the great VC post of the day.  Enjoy.
