No, no reason to kick yourself on the way out
I’d use slightly different phrasing but the message is fine. Maybe something more like “I realized my strengths and passions align better to a different career path” rather than “my strengths don’t allow me to be a high performer here” - gives the same message but makes it less about your natural capability to perform and more about where you best fit.
You don't need to explain yourself
I don’t know you so I might be miles off here but maybe you’re just mentally exhausted? Try to schedule time off, maybe a week or two and in that time get some rest and think about it properly before quitting.
When I say think about it properly (and maybe you’ve done this so don’t mind me if I’m miles off), I mean identify exactly what you mean by “strengths needed” then also identify what your strengths are and what jobs would best align with that.
You may not need to quit and may just need to change service groups within your firm (if you don’t hate the company).
Also, like EY2 said, if you’ve absolutely decided you want to quit, there really isn’t any need to explain yourself. Just put in your notice.
Goodluck to you and I hope everything works out nicely.
Feel the exact same way and have been trying to figure out what to do next
Why in the world would you say this ? There is absolutely no good reason for it
What are you struggling with in particular? Do you have someone within EY assigned to be your mentor or buddy that you can chat with about this? I personally would get a second opinion and go from there rather than quitting right away.
Unless the job is something you completely do not want to do, use your opportunity to continue to learn and challenge yourself. Confidence and capability only improves through growing pains :) Resigning only helps EY (no salary on the books) help yourself first!
I’d say don’t leave until you next job is set
Nope but good for you for recognizing it! That means you're very self-aware
Put in 2 weeks while you interview elsewhere!
I would have interviews in position, preferably an offer before submitting a 2 week notice.
I wouldn’t leave till I figure out what I want to do and which way I want to go career wise. Like D1 said you might be just able to change service groups within your firm.
