Do high-performing finance teams actually look calm? In my experience, yes, chaos usually signals weak prioritization, not speed

Some people dealing with a lot of stress and responsibility can look calm. Experienced people can develop that demeanor, it's as if they're in the eye of the hurricane and they can keep it together. I'd agree that people who show (or show off) their stress outwardly can be signaling weakness or disorganization.

Good point

I would argue that calmness is a big trait of high-performing teams. Things can happen, one-off, but if you are constantly running on chaos, how much is really getting done?

Honestly, I just think they have a better poker face, which, to be fair, is definitely a useful skill.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
