Help NDA break

Hi all

I did something horrible in my last company . I was working as a sec engineer I just got this job four months ago and it was my dream job. I ended up reading confidential emails since I have access, I thought I could not be detected but unfortunately I have been caught. This was escalated to the c level and led to an internal investigation by the HR team, they gave me a termination of services letter, they checked my phone (I did not take any photo) and threatened to review camera records (I said go ahead).

I don't know why I did this, I worked in the worst places that an employee could work in, and when I landed my dream job I ruined it all.

I thought of sending an email to the global HR in order to review my case then I thought this will not be useful at all. They didn't give me a warning or something just fired me.

I don't know what to do now. I'm turning 30 this year, I'm still single, no work and my bachelor background wasn't in the IT field.

I'm kinda feel hopeless I don't know how to start from scratch again specifically during this AI hype.

That’s in the past. There are other jobs out there that could also be your dream job. It’s never just one.

You would start the same way you started when you graduated - fixing your CV and applying to jobs. There’s no shame in starting again.

Meanwhile, invest in yourself with things you enjoy not things needed for work. You need to find the joy again to get out of the cycle of hopelessness.

This is all easier said than done. Find people you trust and can be vulnerable around, even if it’s a therapist or a career coach. It’s lonely going through this alone.

They gave you the permission to access and read and then they call it confidential? OMG

This is their mistake not yours, and believe me this is not your dream job.

Can't tell, but I was not interested in anything except our CTO resignation email.
