Anxiety with mistakes at work
Made a mistake in the model that was caught later on in the process. It was a relatively simple mistake that I overlooked, being too focused on the other details. VP was nice about it but I feel horrible and can’t stop beating myself up over it. I get the whole “we’re not saving lives” aspect of the job but these instances stress me out so much, especially with burnout piled on. I already feel as if I’m not capable of progressing in IB (have always been a scrappy/non-polished analyst) and this only reinforces that feeling.
Really not looking for anything and I know I should just take this as a learning experience, but I feel crappy right now and just need to vent.
Getting this hung up about a snafu probably means you’re caring and doing well. Chin up - upwards and onwards
In my bank in Sweden we have a saying that goes:
”Det som sker det sker”. Which basically means, what happens, happens. The underlying meaning is that, whatever has happened - there’s nothing other to do than to move on.
