how to become confident in your work as an analyst?
2nd year analyst struggling with many confidence related things: 1. I never see my work as good enough. after I send for review, I keep beating myself up for things I missed, for taking too much time or for feeling anxious when it is supposed to be easy. when anyone finds any mistakes I never let it go for days 2. I never give myself credit for anything good I do. 3. I spend time going over everything I wrote and where I got it from a million times, then end up missing the bigger picture or making formatting mistakes. 4. I am scared to have my own input. if I am making a pitch, I copy and rephrase from equity research or company docs instead of writing myself. I never add my name to team page unless I am explicitly asked to. if an associate gave me a deck with formatting error, I never touch them.
my reviews have been really good and they always emphasize that I am doing great but I can’t see it.
Have your tried cocaine? Or, a therapist?
