It's the little things that may me die inside and I wonder if the partners notice. I forget to capitalize a word in a email subject title. I was typing so fast, I forgot a word in another email. Like how do I fix this when spell check doesn't catch it?!?!? Like there are million of things I'm trying to do and I do not realize it until I've already hit send. Fortunately, I'm a regulatory attorney. So, it's mostly client investigations and assistance with due diligence. But, still. Ugh.

I used to worry so much about stuff like this. I still cringe, bit I see so many partners do the same thing that I realized anyone reasonable in our field is going to understand that typos are a necessary evil of fast-paced, high-pressure work.

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.
