@carla.vass: The first thing I learned at Goldman that I still use as an aspiring author today! The busiest and most successful people are also the most responsive. Obviously it’s not always possible to respond immediately, but after working at Goldman, Uber, Waymo, then launching my own startup, I’ve found that all successful people are super responsive. People who talk a lot about how busy they are and who are late and unresponsive usually aren’t. Just an observation! #goldman #careeradvice #successtips #finance #firstjob
Yep a sense of urgency can take you far in all careers

Super successful people respond quickly because they have to. Hyper successful people respond slow because they don’t have to move for anybody

it takes 10,000 hours to be an expert. it's up to you if it takes 3 years or 7.

Which is weird, because constant interruption is antithetical to deep work. Which means “success” in negatively correlated with working habits that indicate deep creativity, insight, and innovation.

If you don’t respond quickly, things will pile up and work against you.

So much business goes lost because people don’t respond quickly enough - most are never exposed to this, and think it’s rhetoric or some overeager attitude but it’s just how things work in a decision-making/power of the pen context

You know the people getting triggered in the comments are generally unsuccessful and are always looking for excuses

I used to be super responsive and a super high performer. The ROI on my time wasn’t worth it. Now I tell people I’m super busy all the time, still get the same compensation and promotions, but I am way less stressed and get to spend more time with my family. Hustle culture is so not worth it

I feel like responses should always be given within an hour, even if it is just “I will look into this and get back to you”. It’s just professional courtesy

You are not wrong about your pattern observation but I would ask yourself to define success to yourself. I say that as retired consultant whom has shared a similar path and now seeing the world with a different perspective.

So true. We had a rule at Bank of Boston training program called the sunshine rule. You better respond by one day. Or you are out. It was expected to respond asap.

Yeah when you’re busy you respond ASAP cause you know if you don’t you’re never getting to it again because your focus will shift to other things.

I can't ignore a notification. As soon as I see it, they get a response. Not matter, the time or the day.

Quick responses also builds trust that you are an extension of their brain. It's why we love Google and Chatgpt.

This is so true. The most high power people I’ve met respond the fastest. The emails are not long, but they’re quick!

I tell my HS students, all the time, that if a teacher, college, or job interviewer reaches out to them and they take over 24 hours to respond it does not look good and you may have missed an opportunity.

I agree and need to be better. it’s as simple as “thank you for your email. let me review and get back to you”. the most successful people I work with are very responsive

If you are a higher up you have nothing better to do but answer emails. The lower level employees carry the entire structure of the company.

I’m super responsive… ppl assume I have time but that’s not it at all. Most “fake busy” people are unimportant

People will be like “Wow look at how hard this person worked to get what they wanted, I respect that” while getting angry when they themselves are suggested hard work is needed to succeed

i had to pull away from being super responsive-it caused a few money losses and now i meditate on a response
