What’s a typical day look like 😂

What qualities are you looking for in a future MD?

Ask ChatGPT.

I want questions that pertain to a good understanding of the day to day tasks instead of broad stroke questions like what’s your favorite deal, etc. Also smart questions regarding how people work and team dynamics are huge pluses for me. It’s hard if you’re not an experienced banker to come up with them but if an experienced IBer asks to network I expect this.

Would love to hear thoughts on best approach of you are a senior associate at V10 firm.

I’m not home grown at my current firm, but do have a small book currently.

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?
