First year analyst here. Would like to hear your experiences on how you got through times of making frequent mistakes, as lately I’ve been bombing when it comes to work quality; when I started it wasn’t this way. Any advice is helpful as I’m trying to turn my performance around as soon as possible

make a list of past error and use it as a checklist to go through before submitting something to superiors
Wanted to let you know that I started doing this when you suggested it and my errors disappeared that week. Have made a habit of this and it’s made my work life 10x better. Thank you sir
Glad to hear it
Isn’t this skill kind of commoditized now with AI? Just dump it in there and ask to check no?
How do you find your AI to be for this kind of stuff?
I imagine it might check spellings and formatting issues. But is it going to spot a stale number, or numbers that don't tie across pages?
I made an excel check list for things to check and dumped it in the sources section. Works like a charm
