How to set yourself up for success in a new role

When you are starting a new role as an analyst, associate, VP, what are some habits you do to set yourself up for success during your first few days and first weeks? 

For example

  • asking seniors for examples of past presentations/feedback to see how MDs like to present slides
  • have a consistent process for reviewing incl. sense checks
  • how to get your fellow associates or VPs to like you?
