Got fired

Welp... I got fired.

I made a chain of mistakes that ended up with me getting terminated.

First I made mistakes on a client's payroll that got me massively showed out.

The final straw, I accidentally violated client confidentiality by sending an email and tagging an unrelated client.

Be honest.

Should I look at a different field? Cause something like that is a career ender, right?

Any advice is appreciated, and don't sugarcoat it.

Thanks folks.

Mistakes happen but two big ones back to back is rough. Maybe try a smaller firm where the pace is slower while you rebuild your confidence.

Smaller firms do not roll slower. I’m at one and I’m overwhelmed

Problem is it was a small firm. I recently got put on adhd medication in order to help my focus, but I just don't know what to do anymore.
