How to deal with arrogant A to A’s from an analyst perspective
Seems like a good amount of analysts who got the promotion to associate turned arrogant overnight, and refuse to help the analysts out on actually doing the work. They think because they've "made it" to associate they can instantly become a pdf reviewer, go to bed early, etc. One guy in particular was a sniveling nerd as an analyst and suddenly thinks he's hot shit/doesn't help prep any work because he can do a model faster than 90% of people on the floor. Fuck that guy.
I'm a 2nd year MBA associate so this doesn't apply to me directly, but a ton of analysts have been complaining and I'm trying to find a way to help (I've already tried stuffing these arrogant shits into lockers to no avail). For context, if I need to dump 15 new page creates on an analyst in the evening, I typically do ~1/3 of them myself, because it doesn't make sense to just sit around on my ass while the analysts do all of the work until 3am and then I "review the pdf." A lot of these A to As will literally make the analyst prep the entire book, which is something I view as unacceptable to creating an efficient and effective team.
Seems like a lot of A to As use the promotion to "check out", when in reality being an associate is arguably more difficult than being an analyst. Does anyone else have experiences akin to this / is there anything you did to help the analysts?
I'm a recent A2A promote myself and definitely have experienced this. From what I've seen, it's really hard to do anything about this. We have one A2A in my group who has done absolutely nothing ever since he was promoted. People have complained over and over but nothing has been done. Not sure what a solution can be. To be fair though, at least in my group, these are the minority.
