New accountant at just under 90 days in my first role. Just got feedback on tardiness and making errors. My manager questioned my fit and commitment, stressing that very quick improvement is needed. Honestly, I feel like they want me gone, though. Is feedback like this typically salvageable, or is it a signal they've decided and are waiting for me to resign?

Is the feedback accurate?

Being tardy/late is pretty easily and quickly fixed.

As for the mistakes. I generally expect new people to make mistakes. It's literally my job to catch them and point them out so new people can improve. If they keep making the mistakes and it seems to me like they aren't putting in effort/don't care to improve, then there is more serious concerns.

I get the panic feeling, but it doesn’t always mean they want you out. Sometimes they just want to see if you can handle the pressure and course-correct. You’ve only been there 90 days... It’s not too late to prove yourself.

Showing up on time is one of the few things within your control (with the exception of one-off emergencies). Show up to work/calls on time always.

How many interviews is too many? I’ve done 5 one on ones with different people in the practice group. They want me to talk to a few more, but I’m frustrated. It’s so hard to find time to schedule these things and the associates don’t seem to understand I can’t just take them in the middle of the work day at work. Recruiter thinks it’s a good sign. FWIW they haven’t communicated to me position level they’d expect.
