Working in this field emotionally drain me
Hi everyone, I am a Financial Advisor for a year now. I work for a pretty big Credit Union, and I started out as a teller and worked my way up. Currently thinking of pursuing in the wealth side.
Recently though, this line of work is emotionally draining me. I'm cleaning up people's mistakes. Just recently, a different branch issued a debit card to my client. But, that card was linked to someone else's account. 756
Now I'm dealing with this mess. Instead of me focusing on other applications or phone calls, I have to exert time and effort this.
Also, I used to be empathetic of people's situation when they're asking for debt consolidation, but as the number of times I declined someone, I start to be emotionally numb about it.
The weekends don't feel like a weekend to me, because the problem is still there. Sure, I compartmentalize, but if the issue is quite big - I can't help but think about it time to time.
I made a conclusion that perhaps banking isn't for me. I want to hold out for just a year while I network with the loan department side. I think I want to be a credit analyst instead. Working with people is exhausting.
Has anyone felt this way and how do you keep your sanity in this field?
Thanks everyone! 756
