What’s the correct response to “plz fix”?
Should I acknowledge seeing the comment or just let them know when it’s fixed?

“Will do, thanks”

I tend to lean towards over communication in this industry. Paper trail for everything and to always have my associates in the loop. So I’d say “will do - will get this too you shortly/soon” or whatever time it takes if longer

depends on the senior banker.
3 levels: 1) sweetheart 2) reasonable 3) total dumbass
1. thanks, x. that sounds good. sending back shortly.
2. sounds good. will do
3. will do.

Where is the comment? If there's an option to do so, I'd respond to let them know it's done.

helpful

If the message is somewhere that other people can see it, I'd respond saying that you're working on it to avoid anyone else also starting to work on it. Then follow up and confirm when you're finished.

Should acknowledge receipt if the fix will take more than an hour and/or multiple people are copied. As A1 said earlier, it’ll help avoid duplicating efforts.

You guys have me googling abbreviations hah. I feel out of the loop.

If email, chat, etc. directly to you / your team, you should def acknowledge so that whoever sent the comment (and the rest of your team) knows you got it. Unless it’ll take a only a few mins in which case you can respond with the updated thing once it’s done

You can say “Just don’t, pls”

Depending on who it’s coming from in my opinion. If it is coming from a peer or someone within the same level, I will just send an update letting them know it’s fixed. If it is coming from someone higher then my current position then I will respond that I received the request and let them know then it is finished.

Personally I hate when people just send “pls fix” with out elaborating on what is wrong with the item.

I probably wouldn't respond, and just tell them when its fixed. Why do you have a hard time figuring out to say?

Always overcommunicate

If it’s a small fix (<30 min), respond asap once it’s done with the updated document. If it’s a hard fix, confirm receipt and then send back completed document later

I’m a new analyst at an IB group.

It also doesn’t help the second year analyst quit so I don’t necessarily have a resource to lean into. (Cont.)
