I work in sales as a coordinator and do a bunch of paperwork with customers online. I LOVE PEOPLE but dread going to work everyday (wfh 3x a week) because the environment is toxic. I just found out that the only positive manager on my team is leaving. I am spiraling. I have a BS in Health Science (no chemistry classes taken and minimal biology education). Where are people happy in their careers? What careers are best for young women with ADHD? Who’s hiring?

I am looking for >/= 60k a year, paid holidays and generous PTO, good benefits, 401k company match. I want to work with other intelligent people. I like math, people, helping others, food, thinking outside the box etc. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

I would say, try looking for a career in tech. Invest in a BootCamp to become a UX/UI candidate. It is difficult to think of something other than what you went to school but sometimes you have to look outside the box.

What other skills do you have? Or what line of work you think will work for you? I know where you're coming from because I came from a toxic working environment too. Had to suffer mentally for a while so I took a big leap and ventured on something else. I am a former social worker but now an analyst. Being an analyst works for me and for my ADHD for some reason.

Might you share your skillset with us so we know where to start? What industry do you think you would really enjoy working in? Anyway, are you planning on leaving that company any time soon? I don't think it's going to be healthy for you if you stay longer.

I advocate for what is right. I can articulate what I need to in an appropriate and affective manner. I want to be built up and grow in my profession. And I want to feel valued.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?
