Won’t let me touch a model?
First year analyst - 4 months in. They won’t let me touch a model, I’ve been on 2 deals and they give the modeling responsibilities to either the VP or other analyst. What should I do?

You shouldn't touch anyone without consent
They have a VP running the model? What firm are you at - I’ve never heard of a VP holding pen on a model. At the highest an Associate.
probably a small firm, my firm has VPs doing model work and its about 15 people total doing MM size deals
Maybe get a new haircut, lift some weights, don't be a weirdo and then you'll manage to touch a model
The comments are gold🤣🤣
This is your VP here. Listen champ maybe sit the next couple plays out for a while. Know what I mean? Bring me my halal guys on time. Once you can handle the basic blocking and tackling then we chat models.
You need to provide more context. As a second year analyst, this is how I'm thinking of handing off these responsibilities to my first year.
I honestly wouldn't sweat it. I really didn't get to touch a model (in a serious sense) till like 6 months in. From what I have heard from others, it can be even later depending on other factors.
It’s a new deal and thank you for the insight
They are both new deals and no on tight timelines
Were you not aware of the responsibilities before you started the role? There are not that many firms that let first years touch the model. Who do you think were aligning logos before you?
It usually goes something like this.
First years get majority of the bullshit admin work > as they transition to second years, summer interns come in and take over the role. As the interns leave > the incoming first years take on the shitty job again
Hey man can I Pm you for more detail?
Second year analysts shouldn’t be handing work to anyone
I said LET HIM COOK!!!
after first minutes of touching the model: DON'T. LET. HIM. COOK.
If investigated, say that model touched first

Touching costs extra

Yeah idk why tbh
Ehh, isn't group dependent?
