A Day In The Life Of A Senior Associate At Riveron
A Senior Associate's day at Riveron involves a mix of independent work ("owning a process and taking something to completion") and collaborative efforts, including daily team meetings and client interactions, often requiring immediate availability for unscheduled calls, as exemplified by spontaneous requests from a "chief accounting officer". This highlights the fluid and demanding nature of the role, demanding responsiveness and autonomy.

What does a day in the life of a senior associate look like?
Here's the cleaned transcript:
"A typical day starts with an internal touchpoint meeting. We'd align on what everyone's working on, any difficulties they're facing, and plan future client meetings.
After that, there might be some solo work where you own a process and aim to bring it to completion. Throughout the day, you'll intersperse your work by checking Teams or Slack for questions. You'll ask people about their availability.
It's a very fluid process. In client services, you might unexpectedly get a Microsoft Teams call, as happened to me often, from the Chief Accounting Officer. They'll ask if you're free to hop on a call.
This doesn't necessarily derail your work, but you have to be ready to talk to the client at any moment they wish. So, there's a lot of fluidity and a lot of being ready to go at any given moment.
There's also the autonomy to truly own your process and the work you're on."
