Anyone get diagnosed with adhd as an adult? Anyone ask for workplace accommodations due to figuring out treatment & performance might be spotty? Trying to navigate it all and therapists can only advise so much, and this is not a generally debilitating condition only for work when it gets unexpectedly busy

I wouldn’t. There’s a stigma that’s likely to stick, right or wrong. I speak from some related but somewhat different experience. I suffer from Bipolar disorder which does affect my performance at times (both good and bad). It’s well managed with medication but I do have a breakthrough episode every so often that can impact my performance. I’ve been advised by my psychiatrist not to inform my employer unless absolutely necessary (ie I am hospitalized or unable to work for an extended period, but only then to refer to a medical issue and not get specific). Granted I think ADHD likely carries somewhat less stigma, but I think could create some negative subconscious bias where it’s likely unwarranted.

Yes and no. I keep it to myself and unless I have a very compelling reason to disclose, I will not do so.

I am joining Delloite as a BA in Oracle financials. Is it really the case that in Delloite you would always be getting good implementation projects and also which are on Fusion cloud.

Currently I am in Infy and working on ORMB project. The hike that I am getting in Delloite is very less. Just around 10 percent. So is it worth it to switch just because I would get quality projects in D?
