I am an A0 and joined around a month back with a gen corp team and I am having a tough time grappling terms at learning sessions or deal briefings. More than half of the stuff goes absolutely above the head.
Is it normal and does time makes it easier or is there some inherent understanding of the maths behind it that one should have.
Scared that at this rate I might have to change practice areas soon
It took me atleast 1-2 months to adjust to these terminologies even after I had an internship of 2 months in a similar field. So it will take time but you will get to it surely.
What are AVM and RMC tho? Haven't heard of those terms before.
RMC: Right to Maintain Capital
Just different terminologies being used in different firms I guess.
