You will go to IB analyst jail, be banned from the industry and eventually hell when you die. j/k Relax, I'm sure you'll just get a sharp scolding and it will all blow over. Trust me, I have accidentally been sent all sorts of sensitive information. I have accidentally sent a few things early in my career as well. My advice for when you're moving fast is delete all to/cc etc. while you're drafting the email so you can't accidentally send something before you have triple checked everything. I'm sure it will be ok, try not to freak out too much.
They will send you to Mars in Bezos' new spaceship.
something my dad always told me after i fucked up majorly in school or at work and was waiting to be screamed at was "they can't kill me and if they fire me i get to go home". Always makes me feel a bit better about the situation at hand
its OK banking turnover is high so ur gd
Relax. The MOST you MIGHT get is a big scolding. It won't even trigger any kind of compliance call.
Was it an unrelated pitch book? No big deal then.
I knew an analyst that sent the buyer tracker to a top bidder accidentally
That was pretty bad
oh god. how did that go
Jesus christ, what ended up happening??
That is a whole other level of carelessness. I would probably spontaneously combust if that was me.
I got anxiety just reading this comment
yeah it was an FO pitch to a company in which both banks were in the IPO, completely unrelated to the IPO we were working on
