true? and how many deals do i need to be on before i'm not lost if i'm typical associate?
think they should be a mix of simple ipos, shelf, whatever else is typical and more straightforward and some high yield. |

The answer seems to be infinity. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2710574&forum_id=2#26592732) |

Date: October 26th, 2014 9:46 PM Author: topaz codepig fanboi i just need to fake it like two years before i can get out and go in-house. but i'm a fucking fifth year associate who knows shit.
like, seriously. i did like three fund formations, then the partner i was working for died and things dried up for everyone, i took a year of unpaid leave that's not on my resume for illness, was lent out to lit, then did a lot of doc review and privilege review till i was gently pushed out. it was crazy-sweet. i never asked for more work. i just rode it out. but it was a v10. so the fact that i don't have first year corp associate skills is not going to be expected or acceptable. :(
the new one is a v100. and i think i'll be quickly expected to handle shit on my own. i actually don't thnk i suck miserably. i never got bad reviews. my first two reviews said i was doing excellent work. but then things just sort of dried up for so long that by the time i could work again, i was too behind the curve. no one gave me more to do.
or at least that's what i tell myself. probably deluded and i suck. if so, even worse! |

Date: October 27th, 2014 9:06 AM Author: Curious Roast Beef Brunch working at a v10 sucks. at a v100, you can probably get by with gravitas and presentation. just act like you know what youre doing and youll be fine. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2710574&forum_id=2#26595147) |

M&A learning curve seems a bit steeper. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2710574&forum_id=2#26595187) |
