I think the project was pretty difficult. They expected you to answer many question, and then you were expected to squeeze that all into the executive summary.

Yeah, that was tough, but I was kinda encouraged because they kinda gave away what the project was going to be on the evening before. I didn't do a whole bunch of analysis on the stochastic results because it seemed pretty apparent that bad news was almost invevitable. We had to prepare for people excercising their GMIB, period.

I could have used more time. My report could have been more well-written, and there were a couple little things that I left out because I didn't have time to be as thorough as I wanted to be.

Don't you think they take that into account? That you wouldn't really be writing a report of this importance in 9 hours, more like two weeks?
