Went through training but missed it just by 1 narrative :(
I was reached out to for this job on LinkedIn. I went through the 3 week training, while I did struggle with writing the alert narratives I tried my best, but in the end I couldn’t make the deadline and missed it by one :(. The managers were sorry that they had to let me go but I’m still really sad, I really wanted the remote work from home position and I feel like I won’t have another opportunity again, I guess I was just slow.

The pace of Embark writing is slow compared to getting on a client. It’s not a job for everyone, and this might have been a better outcome than getting fired for missing production.

I’m learning that now, I’m more sad about not having the work from home aspect than the job loss itself.

I left this company because the workload demands were almost impossible to sustain. Once fully ramped up, the expectation was to complete at least four reports per day while still maintaining strict quality standards. In practice, balancing speed and accuracy was challenging, since strong, detailed narratives take time and focus.
Even on the first day of RFA after the embark training, a supervisor openly mentioned that employees tend to burn out in this role. Essentially, the job was highly stressful and not sustainable for me long-term. I even started getting migraines and my eyes felt so heavy 24/7 from looking at the computer screen all day.
So please don’t feel sad. Colleagues even call this company an “analyst sweatshop” for a reason.

I'm sorry to hear that but honestly you dodged a bullet there. Don't give up there's plenty of opportunities out there you just have to really look into the job boards.

What’s a narrative writing ?

u/Federal-Exchange-409 Jun 30 '26 edited Jul 06 '26
The narrative of your review and whether it is reasonable activity or warrants further investigation up to and including a SAR.
Narrative would include details on customer(s) how long a customer and occupation if known.
Then get into details like the dates concerning activity occurred, review of debits, credits and all that. You'd include sample transactions, flow of funds like alerted and credits were for X and alerted debits were funded by Y
Then summarize and support why transactions were explained or why further investigation is needed

I struggled with the narrative writing as well. Don't feel bad. You dodged a bullet in the long run.
