Currently a first year at a BB and feel like I have to make too many (4+ per week). Am also making 5+ 1-slide company profiles per week. Is this normal? How do you guys make it faster? Do you have any automating tools / outsourcing?

You're a first year. It's normal. Leverage precedents / offshore team as much as possible.
Thank you! How long would you say it takes you to do each of those tasks? Have sped up to ~20 minutes per PIB (longest part is editing TOC and linking stuff) and ~45 minutes per Company Profile. It seems like the outsourcing team gives shit quality work and I have to spend a lot of time clearing up basic mistakes.
I stopped using our offshore team altogether for the same reason
My advice with offshore teams (had one at JPM) is to spend about an hour or two with them and help them learn what you want. Then repeatedly ask for the same person so you build them up.
On a side note, I am working on creating an automated tool to create profiles and other simple tasks.
Would love to talk to you more about the problem if you have a chance.
Happy to talk, shoot me a PM
Will do - my account has to be verified, so might be in a few days.
My Bank just introduced a tool that automates PIBs
Nice — are you able to share what it is called? Or is it an internal tool?
Was during internship, can't get the email, think it might have been internal based on RPA though.
Tell me you work for a Canadian bank without telling me you work for a Canadian bank
They have automated systems that pull them together, you’re living in 2020 broski
