Oftentimes it can feel like all your peers are pursuing the same career paths – either investment banking or consulting. Although these industries recruit earlier which is why you may get this impression, it is important to note that these jobs are not a good fit for everyone. Hear Ori Edry from Pearson Education Ventures give his advice on this as well as many other topics such as navigating the recruitment process as an international student, being flexible for internships and jobs, breaking into the VC industry, and differences between corporate VC and a more traditional firm.

Q1: Students often feel pressure to pursue the banking or consulting track. What are your thoughts on finding your own path? A1: 5:53 (i think) - 6:31 (the culture)

Q2: Can you talk about about the differences between all the places you have lived between Israel, the US and the UK? A2: 8:44 (i came from) - 9:29 (fast paced) AND 9:43 (the last thing ) - 10:08 (out yourself)

Q3: How are recruiting practices different around the world, especially in Israel, the US, and the UK, according to your experience? A3: 10:17 (i would say) - 10:37 (in every interview)

Q4: How important do you think it is to stay flexibile while looking for a new position? A4: 12:49 (while i was) - 13:31 (position you can)

Q5: Recruiting is very challenging, as you have mentioned. What is your advice on starting early with a company, perhaps in a completely different division, and working your way up, particularly for VC's? A5: 14:06 (once you hire) - 14:47 AND 16:03 (once you're in the door) - 16:31 (the company)

Q6: What do you see as the big difference between corporate VC's and a more traditional firm? A6: 26:44 (i wanted to work) - 28:00 (a difference) AND 28:33 (i think) - 28:48 (investing in)
