Hi guys. I’m based in the UK and I left Uni just over a year ago with a degree in accounting and finance.
I took a job as an insurance broker out of necessity. I started as a group of 4 and after about 3 months those guys all improved to the point where they started hitting their targets. I’m 9 months in now and I’m still struggling to get even halfway there every month.
I personally think it’s just because the job isn’t for me. I think I’m a really technical person. I like working with numbers, solving problems and things like that but this is essentially a sales role that requires a lot of charisma etc. I think I have some really great skills that are going to waste in this job. I’ve made a real push to try and make improvements but I’m just finding it really hard and my employers haven’t really done a lot to help me improve. Management are constantly flagging my poor performance but I think my role is going to be quite secure for at least a little while because we’re currently severely understaffed and people keep on leaving. It takes quite a while to train people up and that’s only been taking longer with Covid. We currently have 20+ empty desks and I think I’m safe at least until they’re filled.
Obviously this isn’t ideal. I’m feeling down all the time because I’m performing so badly. I’m putting in a lot of extra hours to try and supplement my poor performance. I do find the work interesting but I also just don’t feel comfortable selling over the phone. On top of all of that the pay is pretty bad and there isn’t a lot of opportunity to progress even if I was doing really well. Role this into one and I feel like I’ve hit rock bottom mentally.
At the moment I feel like I want to leave and look for another job. I’ve felt like this for a while but the more time passes the more seriously I consider it but I also have absolutely no idea what kind of job I want to do or how to decide.
I’m worried that I haven’t given it long enough or that I’m over reacting but I do feel genuinely unhappy on a daily basis and even on weekends I spend most of the day thinking about it.
I also have the fear that I’ll get a new job and I’ll be just as bad at that one as I am at this or I’ll feel just as unhappy. Sometimes I just feel like what if the job is fine but the problem is just me.
Anyone have any thoughts or similar experiences. I’d love to hear some thoughts and discuss. Thanks for reading.
