<prompt> Human: Hello personalfinance, hoping you can help me out.Im about to be fired from my job as a business analyst for performance-related issues. Ive never been warned, but we have a new manager who isnt keen on my abilities I started in Account ManagementCustomer Relations. Im buried under huge projects and cant make them come to fruition despite my best efforts, and it is being noticed by the higher ups. Ive had conversations about moving on and transitioning into a simpler role. I work for a US-based company owned by Chinese nationals with a completely different management style that Im having a really hard time understanding and navigating.The rundown:- 27- BA in Political Science- Emergency Fund of 10K- Living in the Boston area- 57,000yr income- Business Analyst for about 2 years, Account Manager for 1 and a halfI have no personal debt, car is paid off, no student loans. pf has helped me budget my monthly expenses so that Im stashing away about 8001k per month.REALLY want to get into a trade, but Im not sure if thats possible if I get fired. Im not really sure how people go about getting new jobs after a negative event like that. Im already looking, and Ive read through the various stories other people have shared, but Im still not sure how to best position myself. It feels like getting fired as a business analyst is a sure-fire ticket to financial ruin.Any insights would be great.  <response>: Since you dont know when you are going to be let go, Id say start shooting that resume out everywhere that you can, even if you dont think you completely qualify but almost do. In the meantime, keep doing what youre doing and keep saving as much as you can so that you can keep up with your rentmortgage and other utilities if you get let go before you find another job. Your main priority should be getting another job before you are let go, simply because once you are let go it can be more difficult to get another job. Go ahead and start thinking about your reasoning for leaving this job for your interview questions. Good luck! Im sorry thats all I can suggest, especially since you already seem on that route.
