I’ve been working in banking for 4 year now.
I still make a bunch of mistakes in my presentations and models. I literally get comments which I look at and feel like kicking myself. I could relook at my work after a few days and spot errors.
I have consciously tried to eliminate the errors but still nowhere close to it. Also feel like my speed hasn’t increased so I can’t make time for checking multiple times on most work products

This keeps me up at night.

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.

Been with company for 2.5 years in a SFA role, and they just let me hire an associate financial analyst reporting into me.

Has anyone else had this before, where you are managing someone but they don’t give you a promotion? Sounds bizarre to me that they allow me to hire someone but then are hesitant to promote.

Looking for recommendations on financial modeling courses (paid) that I can take for 3 statements/operating model, valuations, M&A, & LBO.

I’m thinking doing a modeling course will help with the no modeling experience + update my technicals? Thanks.
