No work as SA

SA at an EB. Hit the desk on Monday and got put on a couple deal teams. Got a good bit of work the first two days but today and yesterday I’ve had basically no work to do. I’ve spent some of the free time reading CIMs, going through models, and networking. Is this just what the initial ramp up is like and am I overthinking this, or did I somehow already fuck up? Next steps? Any help would be appreciated
