My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

Honestly, that was one of the first signs for me too. Did your psychiatrist recommend trying medication? If it is ADHD, then you will almost immediately notice a difference from taking medication. I've heard others say this on here too, but with true ADHD nothing is going to help like medication will.

Thanks D1, yes he did mention the idea of taking medicine once he has confirmed his ADHD diagnosis, with a follow up discussion and questionnaire.

Unfortunately for everyone who has ADHD, forming a solid routine can really help. I say unfortunately because if you have ADHD it can be tough as hell to form and keep routines. I would talk to your doctor or psychiatrist about possible medication options, and look online for some ADHD-friendly work tools that might help you focus.

The first part of your question is tough to answer because it's sort of a squares and rectangle situation. All of us in here feel that way (focus issues, taking longer to start or complete tasks) as we have ADHD, but not everyone who feels that way has ADHD.

Hi ladies! I feel I am ready to find a more managerial role: manager, supervisor, director, etc. I usually take positions I am over qualified for, which leaves me underpaid and not very challenged.

Is there a way to phrase answers in an interview to get the positions?

I’m interviewing for an enterprise project manager for a county government entity. The interviewer OPENED the interview by stating the salary range, I’m guessing to weed out those who would not be interested in the stated range, which seemed very low, even for government. Does $65k seem low for this sort of role? I’ve interviewed mostly with tech companies, and nothing has started at less than $100k/annually. Benefits are pretty unremarkable.

Received an offer from Amazon but I'm concerned about negotiating hard and ending up with an offer that's on the higher end of the pay band when compared to the rest of the (future) team. My concern is during an economic downturn, it would be easier to let me go if the team needs to be downsized. This would be because I would have the least experience on the team & more expensive to retain from a cost perspective.

My concerns valid? #amazon #aws #faang
