Investment Banking Tips and Tricks

Incoming first year analyst interested in learning more tips and tricks of the trade. Specifically talking about tips/tricks that help with increasing efficiency / minimizing stupid mistakes. Here are some I came across:

- Putting something like "xxx" in the BCC field so the message can't send until removed it when drafting emails 

- Fully utilize firm/vendor resources (ex: graphics team, VDR provider building out dataroom folders, etc.)

- Print and check your work
