Summary: A Saving Grace in Tough Times
Review: I knew I wanted to work in venture capital but breaking into the market in these tought times was pretty intimidating. A friend of mine suggested these guides as a good resource and I'm glad I followed his advice. I now have a much better idea of the challenges facing the industry right now, and how to leverage my background to get where I want, despite the tough market. This guide also provided insight into which firms are staying afloat and which ones are struggling. I feel like I definitely have a cutting edge now.

Summary: Wheeling and dealing
Review: I'm currently looking into interning at one of the VC firms in and around Silicon Valley and was happy to find a guide that could give me the skinny on what's going on with the industry in general (ok, it's tougher than ever!) and which firms really appear to be viable options for my personal and professional goals. The glossary of VC lingo was an amusing and informative read as were the Likes and Dislikes of various insiders. I was thinking this could be the industry for me, but now I really feel enthusiastic about trying it out. Thanks, WetFeet, for confirming my hunches and helping me figure out my immediate career path.
