I’ll try and keep this short. Back in February, I was fired from my job due to some performance issues. Long story short, it was as a financial analyst for a major healthcare corporation where there was a big emphasis on understanding accounting, which I really didn’t have experience in and struggled to learn/teach myself. I recently started a new job as a financial analyst at the end of march with a different focus but still some of the same principles I struggled with. Kinda just had to take it solely to make money and it was at a higher salary. I got the job only 2 1/2 weeks unemployed which apparently is shockingly fast. But I find myself in this precarious position where I can kinda see the writing on the wall. Don’t love the work, don’t know that I’ll ever fully understand it, boss is kind of a hardass, etc. I guess I’m just wondering what you all would do in my position. I don’t really know exactly what it is I’d like to do with my life. I’m 32 and I realize a lot of people take awhile to figure that out so maybe i just keep looking around? Don’t want to end up in the same position as last time. Could be recency bias. Any advice/thoughts are greatly appreciated.
