Just discovered I completed 6 weeks worth of work within 2 weeks at the leaderships demand and pulled an 18 hour day after waking up at 3am for the first flight out (again, MD demand). I'm dead exhausted and frustrated with the MD's feedback that my insights aren't robust enough given that I've had zero time to think strategically about the work I'm churning out.

You should talk to your CC about this. They maybe have advice to handle it better next time.
