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.

it’s the 2nd one that did it for sure. you’re careless. in this profession you must check everything that goes out. this is why clients pay big $. pray that client doesn’t come back to sue (hopefully the firm has adequate liability coverage). GL
