Big favoritism in my team - all live deals go to the same analyst. When I asked for more learning opportunities, I was destroyed as a means to keep my mouth shut. The deal flow is really bad - I don’t know what to do anymore…

There are situations where you just have to put in time and pay your dues before you may be taken seriously. Use the time to learn what you can, and try to raise your networking game. Figure out the system and adapt to it and make it work to your advantage. Like good old Sun Tzu said, in the midst of chaos there is also opportunity.

Seek out senior staff who you believe have the most power in the group and outperform when you’re with them.

I’d offer to help the other analyst, directly or indirectly. If all live deals go to that Analyst, they may be underwater themselves.
That way people will see that you’re a team player and willing to help out even though it’s not your deal - can build goodwill with those above you.

If you do get some crumbs from the other analyst, absolutely smash the execution. Go overboard to make sure it’s incredible. It’ll get recognition.

I like that, smash those crumbs

What does destroyed mean here? Given too many live deals? But then you say the deal flow is bad

Why would you get told off when asking for more work? How are you going about doing that

Friends!
I think bowl leader is clear in his pinned post that we refrain from excessive negative posts and posts that my hurt people’s sentiments.

Understand the freedom of speech at the same time we should be aware that the spoof of Goddess Durga’s image posted below is offensive to a bunch of us; similarly a poster from EY calling people cow urine drinkers is offensive.

Would request people to refrain from knowingly hurting people’s sentiments.

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
