One of my MD’s asked me to update a workbook with new deal info on a sheet they created in September. I did it with the new cap structure they gave, and got a paragraph back telling me it was wrong, and to use a different cap structure. Sent it back, same exact response with a third cap structure. I put these in and am sent a “your book is a mess,” when all of the “errors” they pointed out were errors from the original sheet from them and I got blamed. I just graduated, how do I deal with this?

I know most of the time it’s cause they are being nosy.

How long do you think about quitting a job before you actually make the move and do it? I’ve been going back and forth for the past couple of months but I haven’t been able to solidify another job yet.
