[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 222465, member: 42112"] Hey That sounds like a really tough situation, and it's completely understandable that you're feeling low. Please don't mistake this for incompetence. You've been taking responsibility, reflecting on what went wrong, and now you're getting proper training - that shows integrity and growth, not failure. It also sounds like you were put in a tricky position without enough initial support, so try not to be too hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, especially when learning something new, and what matters most is how you respond - which you are already doing really well. You've done well in previous roles, so you know you're more than capable. Give yourself time, and don't make any big decisions while you're feeling this low. Once the training kicks in and things settle, your confidence will start to rebuild. If it still isn't working out, it might just be that the role or firm itself is not the right fit for you - that's perfectly okay too! This one setback won't define your career, and you'll find the role where you can excel. Try to be kind to yourself - you're doing your best and taking steps to acknowledge how you can tackle this task better, and that's all anyone can ask for 😊 [/QUOTE]
