This was my second time ever pitching to a VC. A week after the pitch the managing partner asked me to grab a coffee with him, we spoke for about an hour, mostly personal stuff, nothing special really. Later in the day, he called me and said point blank: "You suck as a CEO but would make a legendary VC", then he proceeded to tell me that he could give me a job and mentor me, ...<p>He's probably right about the first part but I'm really not sure why he thinks I'd make a good VC. I'm a purely technical guy, I dropped out of school, don't have any great business success under my belt, and in total, have pitched to 2 VCs in my life! I love my startup but he's really persistent and has offered me a great starting salary. People with more experience, has this ever happened to you? Is this a great opportunity that I might regret?

Spend sometime imaging yourself doing the job. You will never have enough information to make a rational decision. Whichever one you take you may regret not doing the other because neither outcome can be determined in advance.<p>Good luck
“You suck as a CEO but would make a legendary VC“. This is a judgment someone made based on the short period of time. No one is perfect and we all are learning from our experiences, failures and sharpening our skills along the way. You would definitely become an awesome CEO, key is not to give up and build your own business or continue to build your business/startup (if you have already started).
