Just started my analyst stint at a BB around the West Coast. Im hardworking but not super smart. What should I do to avoid getting fired? Not sure if hardworking is good enough for this Investment banking industry. Any seniors in Investment banking can give me some advice?

At boutiques or MM firms, it happens.
