Just got fired from my job as a market analyst. Evidently I made one too many bad calls and it led to a whale client firing the firm I was working for.
/biz/anons who've been in similar situations, will I still have a career after this? Or is it time to invest in an exit bag?
It's not a huge deal. Look for a new job in the same or similar field. You can either lie at the interview or be honest and tell them how you learned from your mistake. It shows you learned from your mistake and it's highly unlikely you'll make the same mistake twice.
Story time: I work for a prop trading firm. Lost 10k because of a stupid error. My manager got really angry at me. Sure as hell not making that mistake again.

How bad did you fuck up? What is official reason you're getting fired for ?
Do market analysts ever get it right?

How bad? I'm sure there's lateral positions that use your knowledge base without putting clients at risk

Wrote some code to help automate some regular monthly transactions the client wanted. Ended up not testing the code well enough and we placed some trades with liquid cash the client didn't actually have. They really didn't like that.

This was my first job out of college. Do most places not call your previous employer? I assumed that any interviewer would eventually find out about my fuckup.

You don't need a job. Automated trade for yourself #yolo

Lel, I'm sure I'll be able to live off of investing my $5k in savings.

you obviously didn't lose them enough money, if you had lost 100s of millions they'd most likely promote you to COO
