It’s a job but not like any regular jobs. In most regular jobs, you are given a set of requirements/tasks, you do them 9-5 and go home. VC decides who gets money and as a result what kinda of jobs there will be out there. Luckily, VC is only a part of the financing sector.
The problem, in my opinion, is the lack of skin in the game in many of these funds. If the alpha is the 2% of funds managed, then the investments are a side show and as a result VC are just a plunder of these funds and a misallocation of resources in the economy. (Hence my comparison with communism).
