How long before you “got it”

MBA Associate (yes cue the stereotype), hit the desk about 6 weeks ago and still feel like I’m pretty slow and consequently am not even able to review everything before sending it out.

For anyone that was in my position, was this your experience and how long before you felt somewhat comfortable?

For reference, I was fine writing up a CIM on one deal but for a pitch I struggled with the valuation modeling etc.
