Today I was fired from a software company.. for the 3rd time in 1.5 years. Needless to say I feel like I reached bottom and it's impossible to get out without changing career. Should I change a career? Is it even possible to find a job now?
Case 1: Fired from a fintech company on the 2nd month for not performing. This was correct since I had a lack of motivation.
Case 2: Fired from a web platform company for not performing. I was placed to work with a technology unrelated to what I signed for, so this seems like poor management from my side.
Case 3: Fired on 6th month for poor performance. During probation I received positive feedback. After that I changed project and I spent a lot of time refactoring and trying to remove technical debt. I received a verbal warning for under-performing before going on holidays. In the 4 days I had I tried to fix that by staying overtime and finishing all due work. However when I came back from holidays I received a termination letter.
Except case 1, I think the other cases was due to poor management and probably a bit poor communication from my part. However is there even a chance that I can sell that? Generally the issue as I see it, is that I have a tendency to cleanup messy code, refactor and ensure things are well tested - something that can be seen by many as slow performing.
I'm pretty lost at this point. I'm in my 30s without a fallback place, no family around and not many friends. Luckily I have a few savings for keeping me going for 6 months but I'll need to make the right choices.
