Just started a new job/position and it was not what I was really expecting - it’s overwhelming and I don’t know how long I can stick around. What should I do??
A bit of context - I recently switched over to my principals acquisition division. It’s a smaller firm so not many people and I wasn’t trained or really given any resources to work off of. I’m not a huge fan of construction deals but now half of what I’m looking at if not more is construction - I’m working off of a model that I created and I have to create one for construction. Lots of deals are coming in (co-gp &amp; lp) that I’m trying to figure out and sort through while trying to figure out everything else. I’m super overwhelmed and they keep on sending me more contacts looking for co-gp &amp; lp equity. I wanted to work in acquisitions, not really on co-gp and lp placement - I feel a bit burned out from previous position and all the other things I do on the side. 

What should I do? Any advise?

It sounds like you are doing acquisitions work PLUS finding investments which happens in small shops that are not big enough to specialize.

See if you can be good at it and at the very worst you have the experience for your next role. That's frustrating but is what it is.

I'm not saying you shouldn't challenge yourself but I think most people intuitively know whether they can make things work or not.\n\nFYI It's extremely weird that you don't have base salary as an acquisitions analyst.\n\nIf your modeling skills are good you should have very few problems finding a new job. I won't say it's going to be easy but once you get through a few interviews you'll be more comfortable and also know how to answer the questions. I hate to say it but interviewing is often a volume game.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
