at the end of this year vs by the end of this year

Both these phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'At the end of this year' refers to a specific point in time, while 'by the end of this year' indicates a deadline or timeframe before the end of the year. The choice between the phrases depends on if you're referring to a specific moment or a deadline.
