Lathered to this team 2 months ago and manager feels like I deserve a “partially met” rating. The lowest rating due to being in this role for 2 months even though I already closed 5 deals. This is in NYC at a mid level BB. Is this fair and how will it impact me in the future?

How tf you close 5 deals in 2 months.
MM deals. 150-500 mil.
You probably joined deal teams mid-process and got lucky to have your name added to the deal despite the heavy lifting with CIM drafting and marketing process already having occurred. Absolutely no way you've been through even a single deal from beginning to end in 2 months.
Lol at the awareness of a lateral junior that thinks they “closed 5 deals” in 2 months
You’re so out of touch with reality if you think you’ve closed 5 deals.
No definitely not beginning to end. But did some heavy lifting to get them across the finish line for all 5. Btw, I am associate lateral.
As a junior banker don't worry about closed or executed deals. They're helpful to be on, but the count doesn't matter and the revenue you're associated with doesn't matter, because ultimately you have no say on your staffing. It's great for career development and experience, but you can be top rated with minimal closed deals.
What you are rated on is pretty simple. Your overall attitude, teamwork, willingness to roll up your sleeves to help the team, ability to learn quickly, continued improvement in your skills, flexibility, attention to detail, proactivity (asking for more work when finished) engagement throughout the process, and ultimately supporting the team through it all.
