    I have ADHD and have bounced around between many jobs as a result. I’m currently in the process of switching to something new, but I can share a couple of my favorites/least favorites:

    Best jobs I’ve had:

    • Penetration Tester/Social Engineer - 8/10 - really fun and interesting work, but very demanding
    • Call center - 5/10 - I loved my boss and coworkers and I got to work from home, but the customers were nightmarish and it was very mentally and emotionally draining work

    Worst jobs:

    • Working at a gym - 1/10 - by far the most toxic and dangerous work environment I’ve ever been in, bar none… but I got a free gym membership, I guess
    • Warehouse logistics - 3/10 - woke up at 4 AM every day to unload massive trucks as fast as possible, then stock shelves and manage inventory for hours after which was super tedious and boring
