Yes, its a bit paranoid that one email will hurt your reputation.

But make sure you learn how to deliver mistake-free content. Its often what sets interns or analysts apart. Because most of them will mentally be capable of understanding things, they just lack execution.

 

Just to reiterate what others have said. One email cannot derail your career or hurt your reputation. However, people are very fast in drawing conclusions in this job and first impressions matter A LOT. They would expect you to have all emails and other easy tasks mistake-free before you are handed more complex / important streams. It's super easy to mess up an email but equally easy to take a step back and proof read the damn thing before hitting send.

 

Not going to re-iterate the many great points and advice here. The one thing I would suggest is, I almost never hit send on a freshly drafted email (unless if it's truly a quick response). Most emails sit in draft for at least 15 minutes, I work on something else, then go back and read again.. For important emails, I read out loud..

Scrutiny increases from there for decks obviously, but same framework.. Always take a break then review.
