  • Same here, similar age.

    When i got diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, ny psychologist mentioned that I’m probably on the spectrum as well, but that getting an official diagnosis wouldn’t really help anything and she wasn’t sure I would even get one.

    But having the realisation really opened my eyes though, I now understand better why certain situations always made me irritable and made me have much more peace with my own limitations.

    I always knew I was a bit ‘off’, and knowing I’m on the spectrum kind of felt like the last pieces of the puzzle fell in place.


  • At my current and previous job (IT) we do 3 rounds, team (most important), technical and management. I find that this works pretty well to hire people that really dit both the team and know how to do the job. Each last 40-60 minutes.

    The first is where most candidates fail, it’s an interview with your future peers with little technical content. Mainly talking about interests, work style, how you interact with team mates, etc.

    The second is with senior team members and is mostly technical.

    The third is management rubber stamping the teams choice and you have to fuck up pretty badly to fail.

    I should add that we hire many candidates from abroad, and having people fail probation after moving their families across the globe would be a really shitty move.
