Other Analyst Does Everything
The deal teams where I work are always thin. On the specific deal I am talking about right now it is me (~6 months on the desk), a senior analyst, a VP and an MD. As the person with least experience I understand that I will have be given the least responsibility especially since I haven't met anyone I'm working with in person. However, the senior analyst on the deal I am working on seems to try and take every piece of work given by my MD and VP. I will consistently tell him I am here to help and that I am free and can spend time on whatever the task is, but he always says he will just do it himself. All of the materials I have created have been accepted with praise and I get along with the members of my team well, I just don't understand why the senior analyst doesn't let me do more to help out sometimes. Should I just be grateful because this means I have less work to do? On one of the past deals I was staffed on the senior analyst would always give me work to do with little guidance and I honestly appreciated that more. Really feel like I'm falling behind/not learning as quickly as I should because he is doing the majority of the work and not letting me help.
Just be happy that you are having less work for right now. You've only been on the desk for 6 months! Your senior analyst probably just doesn't trust you, especially with the virtual environment. If you still feel like you aren't getting ANY work, like not even mock work, then maybe you should take the time to recruit
Enjoy this. Your senior analyst is on the losing end of the deal. Use free time to enjoy your day or put effort into other productive activities.
