I’ve been in tech sales and product for a few years now. Looking for the next jump in life and reaching out to some VCs. How much can someone make in VC? For example sequoia, iron pillars, two sigma ventures, or any of the top firms. What is the avg and what is the top 10% and what does a salary breakdown look like? TC: $280K
dude sequoia is in another sport relative to the others here.

What level would you be targeting? Anything associated and below most likely won’t get carry and your compensation will be low.
Targeting deal partner above associate below partner.
You don’t work in VC unless you have an MBA from Harvard or Stanford. And even if you do, you mostly make crap wages as an analyst. Only the partners make big money and there are very few of those.
Tons of non MBAs in VC too. A lot of Ex founders or FAANG PMs, I am aware of some from Microsoft or Google who were not from target school. I think timing, experience, and connections matter just as much.
