Waddup survivors. I have had a dilemma recently going into my second year of IB. I got 4.5/5 on both my performance reviews so far and by all accounts I am performing very well. Been told this from fellow analysts all the way up to group head.
With the above being said; I am on some really shitty deals that I got staffed on day 1 where I’ve gotten zero modeling exposure and am basically just a process monkey (deals have been ongoing for years and model was built before I got here). These deals have just been dragging and dragging for my entire tenure with no end in sight. I have still yet to close a deal (sign of the times I guess), but I also haven’t gotten any modeling exposure and so I am feeling very far behind my peers.
My peers who I’m close with get 3/5’s on their performance reviews and the seniors literally gossip with me about how shitty the other analysts are. I’ve been told I’m frequently requested for staffing but they are always given some one else when they put me as a preference.
I’m sure this comes off somewhat cocky but I genuinely feel like I am a good analyst and I’m just not getting the chance to prove that on any good deals and develop the skill set needed for associate.
TLDR; I’ve been eating shit with a grin on my face for almost 2 years but I’m starting to worry my skill set and raw “talent” is being wasted by the piss-poor staffings I’ve been put on
