Telecom rotational program to VC

I recently landed a 2 year general rotation program at a large Canadian telecom company. After my first rotation, I will have some say as to where I can do my next rotations. I would eventually like try a start-up > VC or HSW MBA > VC. Does anyone have any recommendations on which units I should do my rotations in?

Thanks!

 

What are the options for rotations? Corp Dev and Biz Dev would be good places to start, but it all depends on how the company/program is structured.

 

Unfortunately the opportunities available will be based on need at the time so there is no way to know for sure. I tried to do research on the different types of departments; I am not sure if there is a corp dev or biz dev but they do have a strategy department. They also have a M&A department alongside the more traditional departments. I will do 4 rotations in total.

 

an M&A department is the same thing as a corp dev would be, pretty much, I don't think most places have both...
