Feel like I'm not doing enough as a new analyst
So I'm about a month and a half in to the role, at a east coast consumer boutique. We have quality deals, but not a high volume model. The deal was already adequately staffed, and it seems like I'm more so shadowing than getting deeply involved, as the materials are fully built out (well past the analyst stage). I've been trying to take the burdensome work off the shoulders of the others (notes, tedious tasks, etc), which they appreciate, and try to just listen in where I can and take notes to understand the process. Also spending time just reading about the industry, and practicing excel skills, reviewing training materials, etc. But I have clear weekends and I've been hopping on calls but try to just stay quiet as to not disturb except when occasionally asked to chime in. Does this sound like a reasonable tactic, I was asking for work more frequently before and the often was often no, or I could tell that it'd be more effort/time to get me involved vs the rest of the team already on the deal. Am I fine just doing what I'm doing? I get in early and leave after the seniors almost always, have been trying to network in the firm, have a good attitude, etc. Just feel a little anxious about this. Thanks
Bruh I’m at an EB and I feel like this. This is the ramp up period to learn as much as possible and become a “dawg” over time. I’m staffed on shit but the shit I’m doing is honestly all bitch work when I think about it tbh. You’re more valuable learning as much as possible at this stage. We’ve been on the desk for less than 6 weeks, don’t trip.
Or trip and think your job is wraps, your choice.
Yea agreed, talking to other new juniors and they're in the same spot. How are you trying to learn? I go through old CIMs and print them out and review them, rebuild old materials, etc. Anything else you do?
