Making mistakes doesn't feel great, but they can provide some lessons you might not have learned otherwise.
We asked this year's rising stars of Wall Street to open up about the biggest missteps of their careers so far and what they took away from them.
Some shared their rookie errors — like slamming their laptop shut after forgetting to save their first big pitch deck or duplicating a trade — while others gave more reflective answers about how early career mistakes impacted their paths.
We've got to iterate and change how we do things, and I think that's helped our team's process a lot.
So my mistakes also brought me here, and everything that has been a mistake is always a learning experience.
