What area do you work in?

[-] Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago

I'm in a software development-ish role (slightly too specialised to say I actually develop software anymore)

I often envy people working in IT. It feels like the perfect field for ADHD people. For me it feels like it's too late to change over. (I'm in my early 30s.) So I think it's gonna be best to just try to be happy with my current job. After all, wanting something else than what you currently have is very ADHDish...

Nah mate, you wouldn't believe how many early 30s and end 20s start their IT studies over here. If you like it and you're into it, you can still rock it. Think about how many years of work you have left and take 2-5 years off that it takes to switch ... I think its still worth it in the long run isn't it?
