I’ve met some 4 and 5s. But also had to endure a bunch of 1 and 2s. Overall majority is probably 3s, just like our ratings. And what someone got for year-end rating is not necessary an indicator of his/her character.

Of course we are relativising "character" to a subset of humanity prone to lying, manipulating and story telling. If we would be rated by the rest of society, surely the numbers would resemble those for lawyers and bankers! 😃

7 years here and I think a 5. Character is really difficult to assess in interview process but those lacking always become known and don’t last through a round or two of upward feedback. 5 doesn’t mean perfect people but the best in consulting.

How do you approach the initial conversation with your doctor? I have taken a variety of both anti anxiety and anti depressants. Nothing works. I’ve been reading online and in this bowl, and a lot of ADHD symptoms really resonate with me. They have for a long time, frankly, but I couldn’t get my former provider to take me seriously when I was in college/law school. I’m hoping the context of being out of school helps, but I just want to make sure I maximize my odds of getting help (cont)
