Trying to get my confidence back up after being called out on making a mistake and receiving a scathing email by a senior advisor. As a junior - how do you keep your chin up and move on?

Learn from your mistake and understand people make them

In our business, you really need to develop a thick skin. Understand what you did wrong, learn from it, owe up to it, and then move forward. Can’t dwell on the past for too long.

Yes and yes from above. Save those emais for future reads when you become successful to keep yourself humble to your very own Junior Assc.

What was the mistake?

My organization absorbed another and the former deputy PM became a branch head - a demotion. For org was more focused on tech dev and not delivering a product on a sked. New org is very focused on that. He is not a driving leader, but is the only one with the tech knowledge needed. He is retirement eligible. He has no heir apparent - previous org didn’t plan that way. If I move him under someone who is a driver - he retires and I lose the knowledge. If I don’t, we may not meet schedules. Advice?
