Any other new analysts drowning?
Hit the desk last week and already getting crushed, don’t see how this is sustainable even for 2 years - how are you all getting through this?

Have you tried not being a b*tch?
Good call lemme try that
Normal for first year analysts to drown. It gets better after 6 months. Keep at it!
It does not

Thanks BigTiddyGoth
It’s very different across the first years in my group. Half of us, myself included, are drowning because of the volume of work. The other half seem blissfully understaffed. Am I just this bad at the job?
Interesting, why do you think this is happening?
Partially luck, partially making good impressions during the internship
Staffers aren't perfect and the workload per project is extremely variable. They may see similar numbers of projects while failing to realize that a few people have extremely involved, high-hour projects vs. others with low-touch projects.
