I feel like the consulting word can be either be beneficial or detrimental for those with ADHD . It’s good in a sense for having new tasks and projects every now and then . But on the other end can lead to burnout. I have been extremely exhausted since I’ve started working in the consulting world.

It’s both. I need the consulting and all the fun work or it’s boring and I’m a low performer instead of a high one but then I’ll harm my health or mental health and it’s so hard to get out of it. But I’ll do the same bad cycle if the work isn’t stimulating or enough. I know no medium route in life.

Glad I’m not the only one 😂 because I do feel a bit crazy sometimes but I also completely see how the fact I love the work so much gives me an “unfair” advantage over everyone else. Clients tend to love me probably because I exude that the problem I’m helping with is the most fascinating important thing ever 😂. A few have disliked me because I’m sure my enthusiasm intensity isn’t for everyone but when the top levels of the client start telling PPMDs they just love me (yep and they have literally said love me) then I get that much needed dopamine and snippets to save to remember when rejection sensitivity dysphoria hits me like a wall

Working in the consulting industry can provide new challenges but may also lead to burnout, especially for individuals with ADHD. It's important to prioritize self-care, establish boundaries, and seek support to manage exhaustion effectively.

Hello fishes,

I have 6 and half YOE in front end development. (angular and hybrid applications). I joined my current organization ( product based) in Feb for 24LPA. The work here is too stressful and there is absolutely zero WLB. So I decided to start looking out again. However I am not getting good interview calls. Are most companies not hiring now ? Or could it because my CTC is too high ?
