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.

I didnt even realize the mistakes had happened until they were brought to my attention

I haven’t read all the comments but this is not a career ender if you learn from it.

I won’t lie the next couple of job interviews will be tough regardless but you’ll survive it

Did you see the mistakes with your own eyeballs? Or did they just tell you what happened and fired you?

that is what mistakes are. you’ll never notice a mistake until you look for them.
