Not a mistake but I’ve gotten fired from a great, resume-building shop. They didn’t like my approach. It was traumatising for a while but eventually I moved passed it and proved to myself I am good enough.

Worst how? Career? Health? All of it all at once?

All at once tbh. Fire drills for no reason. Consistently having to defend myself, my work, to my manager & client. Never feeling like it’s enough, all while going through physical and mental health crisis.

Me too!! I have to defend my work because other people (not strategist) think they can nail it, all the while having to do new things, feeling like it's never enough and if I want to keep up I have to work late and some weekends...

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
