Hi SF,
Really depressed to report I've got 1 month towards dismissal, having been in this role for 1 year. Conduct not an issue, but my boss not satisfied with the outcomes on a specific project i've been working on-numerous errors. These errors are a result of my approach of thinking through the problem, implementation and self review.
The past 6 weeks have been informal checkpoint sessions to correct this, and I have seen improvement in my approach to problems, but the outcome still ******. They know there's plenty of tasks I have perfect outcome-familiar tasks, but there's a skill set mismatch as the job requires someone who can achieve robust outcomes in unfamiliar projects.
I've finished 3 levels of CFA, have good technical skills in excel and VBA, but apparently a ****** analyst. I'm young (24), male. There is another of these checkpoint sessions in 2 weeks, to review performance, and another 2 weeks will be decision on dismissal. i.e. I have one month, the required notification period for dismissal, which boss has been strongly hinting to reconsider my career in this field.
A friend hinted 3 ways for me to go: i'm leaning towards 2 & 3
1) work for a massive turnaround and still get laid off.
2) work for a massive turnaround this goes away (unlikely given boss hinting about career direction)
3) looking for a new job using contacts, and recruitment websites.
I'm feeling pretty ****** from time to time.. SF help?
