Overwhelmed by VDRs
Hey all -
I'm a recently promoted senior associate at an MM PE shop. Wanted to see if there were any tips for getting through VDRs more efficiently as a senior associate / midlevel that people would be able to share?
I obviously know the basics on how to flip through a VDR and cut through data / tee up a model as an associate, however I'm finding that I might not be as efficient as required to do it while also dealing with the elevated workload that comes from working across more deals at any given time and multiple portfolio companies. Therefore, wondering if any people have tips that they share with associates or employ themselves that I could be incorporating?
In particular what I struggle with is that, while I know how to locate and work through specific files for certain analyses, I feel like my VPs somehow have a pulse on literally every file and manage to find the time to also go through documents like past credit agreements / audits. I'm always puzzled by how they do this with everything else on their plate. Is it as simple as literally opening most / every doc or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help! Hoping that this might be a helpful thread for others even if it doesn't solve my issues, which might just indicate that I'm a slower processor of information than others
Download the document index and skim through all the titles?
They do it because they have you to do grunt work which frees up a lot of time
