Bullshit busy work from MD

I absolutely fucking hate it. Bullshit trackers and “analysis” that is looked at once by my MD to provide initial comments and is NEVER discussed again. FUCK. OFF. WITH. THE. TRACKERS. FUCK OFF WITH THEM. Drives me up the fucking wall, that and rushed deadlines because they forget to copy me into shit until last minute

When I worked in consulting prior to lateraling to IB, I had a lot of random ad-hoc requests by senior people, usually involving either diligence or looking for stuff in the VDR.

The best way to handle this is to ask your associates to also work on some of these deliverables if it's too overwhelming. Remember that you should be pushing back on deliverables that seem unreasonable or time-wasting.

 

Quaerat ut esse itaque nulla iure. Voluptas aut perspiciatis et est non eius ad. Ab voluptates qui at nisi est et. Commodi debitis autem quia aspernatur facilis.

A omnis ea laborum corrupti illum occaecati. Non necessitatibus quae sit vel. Accusamus tenetur cumque doloribus et. Harum sed sed nobis voluptatum placeat.
