Imagine being a Financial Auditor / Accountant with ADHD.
I'm willing to bet they don't exist.
I can tell you that it's it's very difficult when operating within a stable, established framework.
But working on a revamp / redevelopment of a system or solving novel problems definitely engages the gears.
I do work with numbers a fair bit, excel helps a lot with keeping it all organized.. ish
Just thinking about that makes my dopamine receptors shrivel up.
I did alright for a while. Changing up clients worked when I started to get bored.
It's not going so great now. Considering a career change but also not wanting to throw away years of experience and a professional license. But yeah, I'm at "this is all bullshit and I don't wanna".
Also work in finance and feel similarly, I oddly would feel really bad about leaving though, I have a wealth of intimate knowledge of how our systems work and answers for oddball questions no one else at my level at least would know, so... I feel guilty even wanting to leave. I know it's not good but... Can't help it lol
Right here with you after seven years at this company Not finance but still
