Getting Pushed Out < 1 Year Into the Role

Title says it all. I got blindsided in a "performance review" less than a year in and was asked to look for other opps. Know I wasn't perfect, but that there was no proper onboarding or culture or training don't know what to do now...

Sorry to hear that - did they point to specifics?  Work ethic, attention to detail, technicals, etc?

It sounds like they're giving you some time to transition out, which is nice.  I would take a beat, and not hit the ground running immediately for recruiting for a new job (to the extent you have that time).  Take some serious self-reflection and speak with other folks at the firm to figure out where things went wrong.
