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.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

Is there any advice for networking into projects when you don’t know many people at the firm yet? I always to help on BD work when I’m on the bench, but it never turns into any billable work. Every time I have talked to a partner/senior manager I was told I don’t have the skill set they’re looking for, but I don’t know how to build up from there. Feeing very lost but I want to improve my approach.
