Best advice for PE Analyst

Curious to hear from your experience what best practices you did to do well in the job. I know hours will be long so is there anything I can do to be efficient and effective with my workstreams? Am I supposed to still be the work monkey or is there more nuance and thinking involved? How do I get the associate promote?

Thanks
