What did you do as far as projects that would have such a intense timeline?

Was it basically deals going on that needed to be analyzed quickly so they could make a decision?

I created reports that needed to be presented every time a public finance analyst went to visit a client. I built tools in R that sped up the analysis process, but putting everything together took a few hours.

The reason why I said the analysts knew they needed the reports before 5 o'clock is because they were the once who set those meetings up weeks in advance (they are institutional clients, it doesn't just happen last minute), they just forgot to share it with our team.

I actually liked working on deals that needed to be analyzed quickly, it was usually something new and I got to be more creative.
