What tools do your firms have to check for slide mistakes? Like inconsistent formatting, missing axis, etc.? Is ours the only one that sucks?

Most firms have some iteration of slideproof

Feels like our SlideProof equivalent misses all the tricky slip ups... like forgetting to update CAGRs or notes and sources

Haha, OP, sounds like a pipe dream to me - "please, automated system, double check my numbers"

The short answer is experience. These mistakes don't quite vanish, but come closer to each year. The caveat being that you learn to prioritize by deck - e.g., what needs to be perfect, and what can be a little rougher, format wise

Slidescanner?

Recalling my first onboarding meeting in-house with the c - suite. Thinking back now recalling that they would often mention if someone they are referring to is a woman. For example, "Oh we have these two women doing x, y, and z and they do it well, a well-oiled machine." etc. I was the only woman in the room. They did not mention when someone performing a particular role was a man but they did point out when it's a woman, happened about four times. Odd, no? What would you make of this?

Having my weekly crisis here. I feel like I’ve ruined my career by doing insurance defense at the same firm for 8 years. I’ve been aggressively job hunting for six months in this state, I previously took the bar in another state and was job hunting there for over a year. I haven’t had anything come up. The only options seem to be the miserable sweatshop ID shops everyone says to steer clear from. Thinking about a career change to selling cars so I can make more money. Really having a meltdown
