Have an offer with DB Leveraged Finance desk in London, but ultimately want to end up at a top Silicon Valley VC fund (Accel, Sequoia, KPCB etc).
Just wondering if I can go straight from LevFin to VC? Will coming from an all-credit background kill my chances?
Would my chances be any better if I were to do PE or B-School after my analyst stint and then try for VC?

I think you've got a shot if you do LevFin --> Space Marine --> VC
Anyone?
Are you a US citizen?
Unless you work directly with those funds while in London or with people that move there, I think it would be pretty difficult to get in directly. Can't see why they should hire you instead of someone that is already doing TMT in San Francisco or IB in the US. Not 100% sure on how they recruit but I guess it would be easier to get in there if you do an MBA in California (Stanford, Berkeley?) or, probably better, if you try to move from London to US at some point in your career.
