Analyst For eBay Founder Omidyar Network in SF
This seems like a cool gig. Omidyar Network has made some smart investments and also does socially reasonable deals. This is more of a junior position but unlike other VC associate positions, they don't expect you to get lost after 2 years. Omidyar recently hired Matt Bannick to run the show. He was GM at Paypal.
