Pretty simple, which is more important / useful to learn? Should you panic if you are helping to run process but other analysts from coverage are getting more into nitty gritty valuation / modelling than you are? Comment from experienced monkeys appreciated.

I think that analysts frequently get lost in the weeds. Yes, financial modeling is important, and you will be grilled on it should you look into PE or corp dev roles, but the most important thing is your overall deal experience and your ability to speak to it. You can always take some extra time to beef up your modeling skills, but it's very tough to beef up your ability to speak about a transaction if you were only involved in the modeling.
