It’s alright, friend. We all do at some point. Just remember in 10 years this moment most likely won’t matter. Learn from it, apologize (if needed), and try and do better next time.

It happens to everyone. Depending on how you cracked (screaming in the office, putting your head down on the desk, walking out and leaving your laptop at a client) will determine how you move forward. Assuming it wasn’t nuclear, no problem. Half of this job is learning how to roll with the punches. Remember you can only control so much. Figure out what’s under your direct control and worry about that. Everything else is wasted energy worrying about things that will happen or not happen anyway.

Hey fishes, I am looking for advice. So I am thinking about quitting my current job just because I don’t feel motivated at all. I am just doing the same thing over and over again literally verbatim, I am a facilitator and I honestly see no grown or job advancement when I tried my company didnt even reach back out to me. I want to become a data analyst or BA and would like to focus on studying for that. Thanks!
