How confident are You? - 06/05/13 04:58 PM
Hello BOLers,
I spent most of the day yesterday working on some spreads and produced some analysis that I'm pretty happy with. I had a meeting with some members of management today to recommend some changes based on my analysis.
Here's the problem. Sometimes I start to second guess myself and analysis when it comes to suggesting major changes to bank policy. Am I the only Compliance Guy that does this? I can be so confident and then I start thinking in circles and end up building doubt. Overall I still think I'm right but my darned mind keeps making me doubt myself.
I think it comes from wanting to be a perfectionist. I know that if I don't control myself that I will end up re-analyzing at least three or four more times.
I did this a lot in college.
What about you? Are you ALWAYS confident in your work?
GO!
