Career Resources
1) Someone hands you some work, you say it should take about 3 hours. You actually do it in 1 hour. Hand it in after 2 hours - you've had an hour to chill plus you're impressing by handing in an hour ahead of schedule.
2) Knowing what questions are going to be asked and having the answers ready (or even fixing the problem) beforehand.
3) Working hard when it is noticed and appreciated, not just all the time.
The above comments are pretty good. I would add:
1) automation...don't do something manually if it can be done in an automated fashion through excel / vba / bloomberg or another person / group.
2) simplification...sometimes you're asked to do something that seems very complicated but if you actually take the time to understand what is the desired output and the reason it is needed you can find another way to go about it that is much simpler and quicker.
3) acceptance...accept the iterative nature of almost all work for seniors...sometimes you have to do something that you have no idea what to do, so instead of wracking your brain and wasting your time trying to get it perfect just make some justifiable attempt and wait until you get comments so you can get more clarity and improve it on the next iteration.
Don't keep asking questions on whatever your manager assigns you.
