I came from high finance and I’m good at basic excel.
I can do this data analysis piece in 1 hour if the stake is high.
I can do it in 45 min if you tell me we will otherwise lose this client or I’ll get counseled out.
But you chose to give me more time.
So here I am, with my laptop open but spent most of my time watching random stuff on my phone.
The analysis piece is ~30% until finished. I can easily wrap it up within 20 min via concentration. But I choose not to. You gave me time.

I occasionally feel like I’m submissive in nature despite that I convince myself that I’m a switch. For the record never test it out irl.
But I like getting pressed and being pushed. Perhaps I should go back to IB where folks can keep pushing me day and night. I’ll be really productive there.

Upward communication and feedback is a really important skill. You might be fine being pressed and pushed at your current level, but the best analysts and consultants (I’m speaking for my own industry) are those that are more proactive and don’t need to be directed/checked in on as much.

You need to learn adopt a sort of Silicon Valley mindset where instead of thinking "I could make this a little better but it will take another day to get there," I instead opt for "I'm going to make this a tiny bit worse, but submit it a week early."
