Thoughts about getting into VC

I hope you ladies and gentlemen have a great day. This year, in September, I will start studying at one of the best universities in Russia, HSE, in the Economics and statistics major. I would like to get into the VC fund immediately after university, and it would be interesting to hear the opinion of experts and not so much about what my approximate actions and steps can be to achieve this goal.

 

Terrible market for early stage.
VC is going good to have a tough decade… unless you’re at top quartile firm that is already well established, I would move on to other things

Disagree with this. Seed is arguably the best stage to be investing in right now. A is over priced and competitive. And there r a lot of losers (ie failing / stymied companies) victim of 2021 funding lingering in the B/C/D rounds that just aren’t attractive investments
