9 months in - Expected First Year Skills

What skills am I expected to have mastered by 9 months? I've closed 4 deals already; 1 buyside, 1 sell side and 2 follow ons, and pretty much have diligence, slightly more complex DCFs and of course scheduling and NDAs down to a T + random decks and pitches Curious what skills in really should have and what everyone else has. I'm in a known sweatshop group at a MM.
