Anyone had a tough first year as an associate? There's a lot to learn, senior bankers are demanding, stakes are high. Leads to stress and insecurity.

I’m sure everyone

Echo that, tough for sure, but to be honest, it was to be expected... Spent ten weeks the summer prior

Associate was the hardest years but also some of the most important. “Be a leader’ but you’re still stuck in the details. Focus on how to prioritize, always.

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
