We're getting absolutely crushed. It's even worse at some satellite offices - there was a mass exodus of associates from the LA office.

What is causing this, besides the insane deal flow, is the fact that seniors are jamming 1st year analysts as they always have, but the analysts have NOWHERE TO ASK FOR HELP. They are sitting there, no fucking clue how to properly do the requested analysis, and they can't ask a 2nd year cuz they don't pick up always. The associates are on even more deals and are arguably more fucked but can't really complain cuz they all chose this.

The analyst knows they are going to get yelled at no matter what, so they just sit and stress and dread the inevitable. In the past, the bullpen saves everything, because you can ask a friend, but now these kids are just spinning their wheels and afraid to ask more than a few questions because of how hard remoting in is and how dismissive seniors are. My EB has been pretty good about it, but it absolutely still happens, I've been trying everything to keep my analysts from dying but sometimes it's too much.
