One of the first things I did when I resumed my MBA and left the country was to see a psychiatrist for an ADHD assessment.
I have it. It has great PR, but living with it can be stressful, and sometimes it chips away at your confidence because you can’t always get a lot done, and you start to feel less of yourself.
The “cool” PR ADHD has needs to meet reality. It’s really not that cool.
I’ve worked in top organizations all my life, but mostly through headhunting, referrals, and/or quick verbal interviews. I’ve gotten zero jobs from processes that involve assessment tests, multiple stages within a short time, or long interview sessions, because I just can’t focus that way without losing my attention.
Once, I was 20 minutes into an MBB consulting internship test, and my head just blocked. I couldn’t focus. I knew what was being asked, but attention had to be forced. I’d reread one sentence like 10 times before it stuck. I struggled to connect it to anything I already knew. Didn’t get the job.
Three weeks later, at a school networking event, I’m 15 minutes into a conversation with an ex-MBB consultant, and he tells me plainly, “You should try consulting, you’d be very good.” Then he gives me his card to reach out.
I reach out, he’s excited, says it’d be great to have me, and offers to strongly recommend me. But first, I’d still have to go through the recruitment process. Same cycle. I panic. Because, well… my success rate is 0%.
There’s also the fear of declaring that you have it. Some people ask, but you hesitate, because not many people fully understand that people with ADHD can actually be very productive.
Meanwhile, I’ve led teams that saved over $150k in costs, designed an AI governance framework and CoE team responsible for building and shipping AI driven products for a previous employer as the project lead, and led a digital transformation team to build solutions. I’ve never scored below 90% in appraisals that mattered.
But how many employers do you want to tell that you mostly excel in leadership and strategic roles, vision, execution, big-picture thinking, but when it comes to the “dirty operational work,” like sitting down to clean data, 15 minutes in you’re distracted by the word “agape” in a spreadsheet… and suddenly you’re 45 minutes deep into its etymology, tracing it back to Plato and Athenian debates?
Anyways, it’s a superpower only if you’re understood. If you’re not… tssk. Good luck.

Almost no West Africans are refugees. Most of these groups - Ghanaians, Nigerians, and so on - do about as well as whites economically, bit ahead in education.
