Hi guys:
I some times get a bit frustrated when things take me longer to understand... for example, I think modeling complex ideas take me longer than my peers, and also the interpersonal aspect of private equity takes me longer too. I often see people who are younger than me doing better on some aspects of the job, and thus want to give up because maybe I’m not that bright... Thoughts?
