1st year Analyst learning curve

Any advice for 1st year analyst at regional boutique investment banks?

I come from a super non target finance background and networked my way in from undergrad with banking unrelated internships. Since starting I’ve been having a super tough time climbing the learning curve and it feels like I am causing my problems then we started when I’m asked to do something. I really love the people here and they have been very helpful in trying to work to get me up to speed. However, I can’t help but shake the feeling they’re getting ready to fire me for being inadequate at my core functions. They’re a pretty lean deal team which on one hand is great because I gain a ton of exposure but on other hand it magnifies every mistake I make on the job. I feel overloaded and overwhelmed while trying to learn 20 things everyday and also study for my licenses which just makes me more flustered on the job.

I know I’m only a few months in but any advice would be appreciated for someone who’s been there.
