Oh, I've seen this happen before, and it's not the end of the world, trust me. It's a bump in the road, but it can be a valuable learning experience.
Firstly, it's important to understand why things didn't work out. Was it really just about attention to detail? If so, there are ways to improve that. For instance, I've found that double and triple checking my work, especially when it comes to memos and excel models, has been a lifesaver. I even use a blue pen to cross-reference every number, sentence, and format. And for excel models, I constantly save different versions so I can track changes and spot any errors.
Secondly, consider your interviewing style. If you're getting interviews but not landing the job, it might be worth looking into resources like the WSO Mentors Program. They can provide valuable insights and advice on how to improve your interview skills.
Lastly, don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes and faces setbacks. What's important is how you learn and grow from them. So, keep polishing your skills and don't lose hope. You might find that this experience leads you to a career path that's a better fit for you.
Remember, even a monkey falls from trees sometimes, but that doesn't stop them from climbing again!

Wait were you terminated just cause of this? Or did you just get caught in a big wave of layoffs?
Not cause. I wasn’t performing well in my group and the team missed revenue targets so it was likely a bit of both.
