Sorry, this isn’t related to your post at all. I was drawn by your title. How does one get into financial crime? I have a BA and MS in criminal justice. I’ve been in the finance industry for nearly 20 years. The last 12 have been in tech/cyber risk management. I would absolutely love to someday use my degrees.

You should know what accommodations you need if you have adhd. They can’t help with that. Everyone is different and adhd presents differently in people. Ask yourself what you struggle with at work and then what modifications could help. Some can be done on your own. Like making a daily list in the am for what you need to get done that day to keep you on task. Other things like taking notes in meetings might require someone else to share notes with you if you struggle paying attention in the moment.

I recommend discussing it with your doctor or Psych to determine what kind of accommodations may be needed. Usually they have to provide a doctor’s note detailing the accommodation to kick things off. What’s needed varies for everyone. Personally I was particular about which way my desk faced, but ended up not needing a formal accommodation so far

I’m so bad at writing the background/ facts section for briefs… it always gets heavily edited and no one is giving me constructive feedback other than “advocate more”. In contrast, my legal argument section is generally without edits. For context, first defense lit job post appellate clerkship. Is this normal?? Any tips for getting better other than “advocating more”?
