He was just all round extremely solid. Got promoted from AN2 to AS1, then AS1 to AS3. Wouldn't be surprised if he was double promoted again to VP2 rather than VP1 if he stayed. He was extremely efficient, produced great materials free from error, and was very solid technically. On top of this, was a really pleasant guy to work with and never saw him flustered or angry. The downside of being so good is every MD wants you on their deals and as a result he got fucked repeatedly, often pulling some of the longest hours on the floor. Probably explains why he left before getting the promotion.

 

interesting, appreciate the info!

if there's one thing I learned from this forum, it's to manage expectations and never be too useful
