4yAppreciate you leaving your thoughts. As we are a client facing business, our employees sometimes need to work extended hours during busy periods to close on projects and reach their monthly targets and bonuses. The Associate role does involve intense, high-frequency project work. A good way to describe the role is as a mix of research, recruiting, and revenue generation. There is a fair amount of repetition and this is critical to learning and improving in any domain (professional, sports, music etc.) - it takes hours and practice to get good at something. It is a great role for people who want to work in business, have immediate impact and grow their commercial skills, but who don’t want to go into consulting or finance.
