Venture for America or RDP at a Midwest Bank
I have two offers that both expire in one week (2/6). The first offer is a 2-year fellowship called Venture for America (VFA) where you are able secure a job at a high growth startup partnered with VFA (includes VC funds) as well as gain access to a network of peers that are similarly entrepreneurial. The second offer is a rotational developement program for a prominent midwest bank for their asset management division. Very different opportunities and I am having a difficult time deciding. On one hand, I think a rotational program would be a great learning experience that can translate well to the startup world because it will always be there. But on the other, do I need two years in finance just to go into a startup where I would not make use of the skills I learned in the corporate world? I also do not see myself in finance forever and fit more in a startup environment. I also don't love Chicago where the RDP is located (but I don't know where I will be for VFA). Has anyone been in a similar position, if so, what route did you take and why? Open to any general advice! Thanks.
