I just joined as an experienced hire SA, and I got staffed during my second week. My project seems to be a big deal, several partners involved. It’s been rough to be meeting expectations in terms of speed with which I complete tasks, while getting used to the way things are at S&. Also, I am stronger with quant stuff rather than pure org design, so that’s new and not super comfortable topic for me. It’s the end of my fourth week, and I already feel drained. Third weekend with pretty substantial homework but at least no calls… I haven’t been as drained by operational due diligence work as with this op model rigmarole I am doing right now.
