Bain & Company Currently at an MBB and finding it hard to do -quality work faster. I could always do my job well, but never had to do it fast too, and now finding it quite hard. Manager also noted that if I've more time, the output tend to be of higher quality, but MBB doesn't allow for the luxury of time. What advice do you have to do better work, faster?

My advice would be to focus on the aspects of your work that have value at a given time in the iteration process. First turn: I want to see output numbers or the page structure with key messages. Next iterations act on any feedback/ comments from EM/ ED, and do the formatting and final polish when everything else is solid (or have someone do it for you if that’s an option). Without knowing more my guess is you spend too much time trying to do 100% on something that will anyway end up getting comments and edits so a big chunk of that work is wasted.
