one month in and still feeling like a liability... i don't know dog shit, but i know in general whats going on. 

 

If you had an internship, three months.  Up to 6 if you didn’t.  Also depends on how much help/guidance/resources you get from your group 

 

I'm a little over a month in and I feel like I have most of the basics down (particularly for one MD I'm pretty much exclusively staffed with, doing lots of similar pitches where I know the process and product teams we work with), but I'm struggling to move towards being a more independent analyst that my VP can rely on for time-crunch slides and reducing the amount of comments I need. 

Is it just repetition at this point?
