Questions for senior bankers and associates:

Sup everyone. I secured a full time analyst offer at a boutique bank in Texas. I had some questions for experienced bankers regarding what makes a good analyst.

  1. What are the most common mistakes first-year analysts make?

  2. How can I make the best impression on my seniors?

  3. What sets apart a good analyst from a mediocre one?

  4. Looking back on your analyst days, what would you have done different?

Thanks
