Every project / pitch feels like cramming for a midterm exam

Every project / pitch feels like cramming for a midterm exam. Need to read up and learn about the company, make a study guide, do a bunch of calculations, memorize a lot of random stuff about the company you’re making a deck for and get grilled / tested on various figures in the ppt or model you made, constant late nights and occasional all nighters. You feel like you’re being evaluated on performance on every project, anyone else experience this?
