I work in finance in an intense team.
I am competent and the only woman in my team (who I respect and look up to) gives me good feedback and appears to support me. Other team members do too, however my LM can be difficult and only seems to pick holes in things.
I am good at the writing and client relationships side eg workstreams involving analysing a new target for example, and competent with the financial modelling element but have made a few frustrating errors since I’ve been with the company.
I feel like I’m now being known as the one who makes modelling errors / isn’t very good at the model which is a key part of the role. Equally I’ve had feedback praising me for how I handle certain things so it’s frustrating because I don’t think more training will help!
this week has been very busy for me work wise and I was recently put on a very tight project and also asked to help with training a junior colleague on this. They are good but very very new!
i had to spend about 6 hours after the working day yday working to meet a deadline that I was only given yesterday, basically reviewing new person’s work whilst also pushing the rest of it forward. There was one error which our client flagged but didn’t seem too bothered about - it was a silly error though and I’m absolutely kicking myself about it - feel like it’s just all gone to shit. I’ve had about 6 hours of sleep two nights running and and been rushed off my feet, so it was inevitable something was going to happen.
Just feel so shit and feel like it’s devalued the other (I think) good work I’ve done
theres no one I can really go to in the team for support, I don’t know how to cope. Perhaps I am in the wrong job?
