Struggling Starting as an Analyst
Hi all,
I am interested to hear your thoughts on my current situation as my head is all over the place as I write this.
I started full-time at a BB in London this summer and hit the desk about a month ago, but so far have been really struggling to adjust to the job and lifestyle. I performed well on the internship and think I have done a pretty good job so far in terms of the quality of my work, but I'm finding it extremely stressful. Being stuck in my room all day is doing my head in, and many people i work with are too busy to explain things to me properly so i usually have little or no clue what is going on.
Anyone else experiencing something similar?
In the same boat man. Started at a top BB and have been miserable on the job so far. Not leaving my apartment for days being tied to my desk has done a bit on me. Contemplating how early I can leave without leaving a bad impression on my resume...
Same for me, I didn't intern in summer and joined FT and finding it difficult. I think the hardest thing is when I get a task that isn't explained properly or I have no experience with and having to keep bothering people with question after question. I can come up with solutions myself but it's about whether they're acceptable things to do which is impossible to judge without being in the office and watching other people do these tasks
Having said that, when I fully understand a task I really enjoy the work and don't mind the hours (not like I'm missing out on anything with the current situation anyway)
