Anyone here with adhd and/or autism, anxiety, depression? In addition to medication, what ways do you cope and what advice could you offer to be successful in public accounting for a minimum of associate to manager?

I think I have all of the above, not officially diagnosed though. It is very difficult to cope without medication. I’ve found that Kratom has helped my focus and drive immensely, especially through the long hours of busy season. It’s a plant-derived stimulant in the same family as the coffee plant, but it interacts with your opioid receptors. It’s federally legal and legal in most states but check your laws. You can get it at most smoke shops or from legit online vendors (it’s not like a black market thing lol)

Might not be the kind of answer you were looking for, but look into it if you’re interested. Good luck! The struggle is real!

I will look into that. Thank you!

I have ADHD and finally got the meds. Best decision ever snd I am on a very low dose. I couple that with exercise and it’s been night and day productivity wise especially working in public accounting.

Same exact thing for me

OP I try to stick to a routine. If it isn’t on my schedule I won’t do it.

I haven’t been formally diagnosed but my aunt has with ADHD. I have found that taking two capsules of a methylated b vitamin from Thorne has been a lifesaver. I am able to focus better at work and definitely notice a difference when I forget to take it. I am consistently amazed that I functioned at work and during COVID without taking this. I started taking this supplement in July of last year. https://www.thorne.com/products/dp/methyl-guard-reg

Remember, autism is a spectrum. Personally I have autistic traits and would probably test as on the spectrum, but if I got a formal diagnosis what would I do with that information?

I started therapy for anxiety and it helps A LOT. I agree that a lot of the recommendations are self care that nobody has time for. One thing that helps me with mine aside from therapy is to do activities that use a different part of the brain than the one causing anxiety. For example, mine is mostly from work and anticipation of things to come, so I start doing things that are less brain and more movement, like exercises classes where I don't have to think and activities that I know the outcome, like diamond painting

In addition to medication, I recommend therapist (one specialized with the conditions you posted) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

You may want to request accommodations, like separate work area, headphones, additional breaks.

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
