Follow ADHD fish - want to see if anyone can relate. Was always a high performer in STEM undergrad (albeit bad procrastinator), but am now struggling in the working world, even a few years in (cont).

Hello Everyone!!

I want to start preparing for FAANG ..Need your guidance to start and move in the right direction.

I have started practicing on leetcode but haven't taken the premium. Is it required to buy?

And please let me know the right resources and path to achieve the same.

Thanks in advance!!

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

I am a PMO Consultant with 6 years of experience, have recently interviewed for Deloitte India(which went really well), what should be the ideal package? Rather how much should i ask for?

Has anyone tried Peter Shankman’s ADHD coaching? Thoughts, experience?

How do you read text-heavy documents when on stimulants? I find it difficult to focus after day 2 / 3 on stimulants but somehow on Modafinil and coffee much better at reading and speed reading

How do you all manage exercise and meds? I take vyvanse and have a peloton, but am kinda scared of the heart rate increase combination. I find the vyvanse takes about 2h to kick in and so I try to take it by 6am otherwise I’m dealing with the “hitting me” feeling when at work (which has resulted in some really embarrassing situations). In the evenings, I’m so hungry that a workout is harder to do plus you never know when the work day will end!

Engagement Managers & Project Leaders: how on earth do you successfully lead on a tough client project?! Difficult enough for ADHDs to execute tasks let alone effectively manage people and synthesis their insights where you benefit the client and impress your colleagues!!

Has anyone tried Brainzyme? If so, what do you think?

How do you all deal with the like, inability to start things and get motivated in the absence of an imminent deadline? Sometimes I feel like I can’t “activate” my brain without wild amounts of stress :/

Does anyone stack their add meds with amino acids? I heard something about this and now cannot find it again.

Has anyone tried Done or Ahead online subscription for ADD medication? I’m getting to the point where I need to start and it’s becoming too much but wasn’t sure where to start

How to “double-check” on stimulants? I know I need to triple check things all the time but never actually do it on stims. It’s like it makes you DO DO DO without thinking and pausing to reflect!

I started Vyvanse two days ago and have been getting really bad headaches. Has anyone else experienced that? 🥲 I have been drinking water and eating protein but I feel awful, had to take the afternoon off

Any thoughts on meditation? Has it helped you?

Anyone else having a rough day, week or weeks? Know you aren't alone - I have been a month long lul of paralaysis and low energy. Keep that chin up and be kind to yourselves!

I’m not on medication. I’ve been making a lot of careless mistakes. I hope my manager is forgiving. Since, I work remotely- I don’t get facetime with her. I wish I didn’t have ADHD.

Do you present slides better (to senior stakeholders) on or off stimulants? If off, how do you manage your schedule so you can present articulately and concisely?

GMAT. Those with ADHD. I feel I can study better on meds, but I perform better when I’m off then during the exam. I’m stuck in a catch-22 of if I should: 1) use stims throughout 2) wean off stims a few days before exam. Anyone else with similar experiences?

Hate finding a mistake in my work days after I psychotically checked it and thought it was solid. Any tips on avoiding this in the future?
