At entry level, you'll be doing work that is WAY below your capabilities. So, I agree with the others.... just take it easy and relax!I can remember being involved in team meetings with heated debates over the most stupid of stuff. Such as "why it's better to write your presentation in Microsoft Word rather than Powerpoint, because the file size is smaller". This was at a top strat firm. I kid ye not.Another one of my favourites was being lectured about why my interest rate calculations were wrong in some analysis I was doing. I'll summarise the problem for you here as it's worth repeating. Basically I had to calculate how much interest was payable on a loan at the end of a 10 year term. Lets say the amount was £100 and the interest rate was 10%. So, by my calculations the answer is £159.39 (simple compound interest). The rest of the team however seemed to feel that it would be £10 x 10 years = £100 interest repayable. This caused great controversy and resulted in a 30 minute 'mentoring' session during which I was lectured about how to do percentages.And forget all the talk about industry knowledge. I sat in on a meeting where a partner started talking about the turnover of a bank. He was talking about £ by the way, not something else like staff turnover. As an economist who understands that banks invest assets rather than turning over stock for profit, I sat there dumbfounded.
