learning nothing
This might come off entitled and annoying; apologies in advance.
Currently working at a BB in a coverage group known for being technical. Started in August. The group has been great and we have awesome hours, maybe work from 10-4 most days, no weekends ever.
I’m posting because I am barely learning. The most i do are menial assignments or updating decks, but I have virtually no handle of excel modeling/financial complexities. Am i fucked? Actually getting to the point where I’m concerned about how i’ll look if i get staffed on an important deal or if I will have any skills within a year. anyone else feel this way?/any advice?
Talk to the staffers and the person who hired you.
Which bank is this and can I join
Which 10 and 4 are we talking about?
10am-4pm haha
Lucky bastard....
Learning and doing stuff is overrated. If you’re working 30 hours a week for BB IB pay, just stay where you are indefinitely.
Sorry not to derail, but did you just say you are working 10am to 4pm with no weekends? Are you serious? Are you in the office or virtual? What kind of dynamic is here is it because you’re just a first year? If this is true, I would not give a single flying fuck about learning anything. I would do the most monotonous boring tasks all day with a smile, data entry, stapling papers, you name it. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but if you are somehow put on a real intense deal I don’t think you are expected to be modeling or anything besides putting some assumptions into cells.
Definitely appreciate the insight. We’re in office 3x per week but it’s very loose.
Bump
Thank your lucky stars tbh
Appreciate the downtime. IMO it won't last very long. Eventually you will start getting staffed on things.
