Is anyone else rewriting the same essay for the 50th time and still hating it? I feel like I know my story but every draft sounds fake or “packaged.” At this point I can’t even tell what’s authentic anymore. I wish I knew when to just hit submit.

Most likely getting fired, tips on how to find a job ASAP? I made a pretty big mistake that required supplemental filings with government offices to fix (missed some items when reviewing/comparing long lists of things across 20-30 years). It’s fixable and the client isn’t really getting hurt by this (worst case signing gets delayed), but my anxiety is telling me to prepare for the worst. Can I ask for extra time at the firm to find a new job (so I wasn’t “fired”)? Or should I go for severance?
