Analytical thinking > skills; any idiot can sit down and learn to build a model but thinking through business impact and creative solutioning is 🤤

To some yes, others no. Others learn this by studying others, reading on past genius ideas, etc. Some run with it and are successful. Shape the path that works for you/play to your strengths.

I think it really comes down to producing quality work, basically always being available and willing to work long hours to turn things around quickly. Basically Partners need people to actually get certain work turned around quickly, which could be project work, BD, etc. I think “rockstar” is synonymous with “mind reader + workhorse”

How are you supposed the to do this effectively. I feel like the same type of people who were the teachers pet do this, but like I suck at this. It always feels so disingenuous and gross, and try to convince myself that a superior work product will negate the reason to do this and my merits will be recognized even though I know it’s not true.

Big picture skills, maturity and taking ownership and responsibility for work.

One thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Nice haiku
