    Yeah realizing my neurodivergence and how it impacts my work life has been pretty eye opening. From the perspective you touched on as well as from a general social dynamics standpoint. They most definitely wear everyone down and then on top of that expect you to participate in the extra-curricular shit. By the time I’m done slaving away for 8 hours, the last thing I want to do is go to a bar and socialize with people. The whole grind is extremely non-conducive to anyone who isn’t neurotypical imo. Sure we all get through it most of the time, but idk if I’m supposed to be this exhausted after just sitting in an office all day.

    Really hope the freelance stuff works out for you though, being able to work kind of for yourself on more or less you own terms sounds wonderful.

    Sounds like a fucking mess. Seen a lot of that stuff in the tech sphere more recently and it doesn’t instill a lot of confidence.

    Probably not a great situation to hop into, sounds like you may be dodging a bullet, but beggars and choosers… Good luck, comrade!

    10000000000000% this.

    As long as you can back up your lie with a grotesque amount of overconfidence, most hiring managers are not going to dig much deeper than surface level. Like you already said, they are probably overworked and just going through motions. Hiring you has the potential to ease their workload, not hiring you means wasting another afternoon conduction more interviews the next day.

    It used to make me irrationally angry as well, but at some point in the past few years I’ve tried to stop letting things that happen in public get to me. My expectations are so low and the effort I put out anymore is even lower. When I’m out and about in public I try my best to keep to myself and ignore anything that isn’t gonna directly affect me.

    Maybe this is a selfish way to go about it, but it is what it is. Being courteous doesn’t really benefit me in public most of the time. I’m not an outright dick to total strangers, I just don’t try very hard to be overly friendly.
