learn from your mistakes, tell yourself not to repeat in your new job.

Default probation in KPMG

So in this case, there is a mismatch. Just move on.

But you would need to find out if you are cut out for this position. Or if it is just this particular employer that set its standards too high.
Hi,
How long is the probation period for a manager in KPMG? If a guy can be fired at will during probation, and fired at will after probation, what is the probation for?

Is a "manager" an entry level position in KPMG? You shouldn't even be worrying about probation if you are an experienced hire.

Anyway there are 1001 ways you can get forced out by management if they wanted to, probation or not.

1) Not answering questions quick enough. My employer commented that I took too long to think of the answers to her questions. (My own personal thought here is that I am still new to what I am learning and thus needed time to rehearse my thoughts in case I said the wrong things) geometry dash


2) Making typo mistakes on numbers in a record sheet that was used for reconciliation purpose everyday. My employer commented that she could not withstand such small mistakes and that it is very important to keep accuracy to a high standards at all times.

As I am still considered a fresh graduate with no working experience. May I know if the above reasons are reasonable enough? I wouldnt comment on other aspects of the job etc. Just like to have some comments / feedback on the above. Thanks!
In some positions, particularly those requiring rapid problem-solving or decision-making, it may be appropriate to expect prompt responses. But, particularly with new hires, it is critical for businesses to think about unique learning curves.
Common Errors:

Accounting relies heavily on accuracy, and companies frequently value accuracy above all else. The amount of typos may be cause for concern if they were substantial and could affect the budget. The question of whether the reaction was proportionate should be considered, nevertheless, if the mistakes were small and didn't affect anything major.

It's common practice to utilize probationary periods to see whether an employee is a suitable match for the position and the organization. It is conceivable that your company felt your performance during probation didn't meet their expectations if they had precise requirements for response speeds and accuracy.
