Calendar Invites
Question for IB folks - why don't people send their own dial-ins or invites? Seen this across investment banks where I'm corresponding with a Executive Director / Director / VP who will CC an analyst to send an invite. Seems redundant and unnecessary.
Some responses I got were "I'm jammed" or "it's an a analyst task"...isn't it faster to send your own dial-in vs CCing someone else to do it? Maybe I should get my Jrs to send cals too
It's slightly less inconvenient to cc an analyst and ask them to set the calendar than it would be to set the calendar themselves
Some MDs send their own, some associates don’t send their own. A third year ccd me to send a dial in once...
A few things:
-It's an easy way to keep the first year analysts involved
- if the analyst is managing a contact log that tracks all parties to whom we reach out and when meetings are scheduled, its easier for them to be able to send the invites themselves and then immediately update the contact log
- My ego is too big to send out calendar invites (i.e., be a glorified secretary) for the rest of my life
- Our team was only allocated x # of zoom accounts and I don't have one so I have the analyst that does have a zoom account send the invites
-Senior people have more important things to do. Like setting up the next meeting. This isn't law, where senior people send out their own invites so they can milk another billable hour out of it
Sometimes I think it’s definitely people being just lazy / on a power trip, but in certain applicable scenarios it can take more time than you’d think to coordinate availability across multiple people or groups, account for time zone differences, etc.
