Am I doing a bad job or is this normal

For context: I’m a first year S&T analyst at a bulge bracket.  I have been at my company only a few months and have only just started to feel that I am getting to grips with the work.

Sometimes I find that I make mistakes/ask stupid questions/ don’t always know how to do things in the best way/ or miss things that I could have spotted.  I find attitudes from others can sometimes be a bit cold/ distanced.  Sometimes I have this anxiety that I am going to be fired but I don’t know if this is all in my head.  I really want to do the best at my job but can sometimes end up feeling like I am a bit incapable.
 

Is this something to worry about or is this a fairly normal experience for a first year analyst?
