How can I get a job in a NY venture capital / financial firm?
Ultimately I’d like to find tech companies to invest in and be involved in start-ups.

Getting into the venture capital world is really tough. It is a highly coveted job. There are two primary paths that offer the best odds. The first path is to get an MBA from a top tier business school. Your technical background will be a good complimentary fit. But, you need the MBA for the finance side. Think Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Sloan, etc. With that, you have a decent shot at an associate (junior) position. The second path is to become a successful entrepreneur, high level executive or top technologist. This is obviously the longer term path as you need a standout track record that takes years to assemble.
