I'm starting at a MM shop fairly soon. I come from an Accounting heavy background but have been exposed to deals process. I also have some valuation experience and know enough to obviously get a green light from the technical interviewer.
Curious regarding any tips about rebuilding my network, work quality reputation, and any other additional items I should be working on in the first 100 days? Obviously want to make a great impression and perform at the level I am anticipated to.

I lateraled to a BB and have been successful. Got the promo to associate and have a strong rep in the group. The absolute number one thing that’s made a huge impact for me is responsiveness. Being responsive is easy as shit. I’ve always been super responsive (honestly will respond within 5 minutes most times, usually just a confirming receipt). This has significantly helped my reputation within the group, ppl see you as more “on top of things” and “engaged” but that’s definitely an assumption because I am neither of those. Also responding to client emails quickly is a massive help to the whole deal team bc they don’t have to wonder “ah do I need to respond to this or will XX take it”. Highly recommend being super responsive - easy to control, very easy to execute, immediate results.
Curious, were you this responsive as AN2 and dialed it back when hitting ASO1? Or just keep the responsiveness up no matter what?
