Diagnosed with ADHD right before starting at an MBB firm. Been here a little over a year and still often feel dumb in meetings because I struggle to keep track of fast-moving discussions and multiple workstreams. English also isn’t my first language, which adds to the processing load. The confusing part is that I actually do good work and get things done — I just seem slower at processing things live compared to others around me. I had a similar experience at a previous job initially, but adapted much faster there. Haven’t tried stimulant meds yet, only antidepressants which didn’t help. For people with ADHD in consulting/high-pressure jobs: - Did it get better with time? - Did ADHD medication help significantly? - or did you eventually realize the environment just wasn’t the right fit for your brain? submitted by /u/crazybrownmen [link] [comments]
