What's the wildest week you had during your SA stint? In terms of hours and/or things that happened.
For me, it was during my 7th week when I cranked out 81 hours Mon - Fri. I had a deadline for a turn of a CIP on Wednesday and a pitch dropped on my team on Thursday. The analyst also had PTO on Friday..not ideal. I started to have dreams about the pitch I was working on lol so I was relieved when things went back to normal.
