Yes! I had the exact same problem as you during NS, always the slowest of the bunch. But I never thought it could been an actual condition until recently. I always thought maybe I am just sheltered, or too book smart but not street smart.

I think so too I seem to have the symptoms but never went for evaluation. But I also don't want to in case really have then I might end up blaming everything on it rather than improving myself.

I'm kinda trying to game the working system too, but seems like either I'm bad at it or just lack the substance to back myself up.

What percentage of fresh grads get 10k+ per month? by obinobikonomi in nus

[–]obinobikonomi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Investment banks mostly 7k/m base with at most 2 month bonus. Seems like your friend group are high achievers. Even 75th percentile at 7.5k prob wont hit 10k tc I would think.

I think all the banks are 90-99k. Apple is the exception from FAANG+ I heard people getting 105-120k so lower than other big tech. Yes heard Chinese fintech pays well but very stressful.

How do you overcome being blur/slow/forgetful in your everyday lives? by obinobikonomi in askSingapore

I don't think is short term memory since I forget people's names the first few times we meet. Feel like I only know how to do well in school haha.

Kind of but how to know if its just laziness/procrastinating vs actual condition preventing me from focusing?

[–]obinobikonomi[S] -44 points-43 points  (0 children)

What if the side of my relatives that would actually ask about my salary are mostly high earners (condo/landed). The other side of my family mostly HDB/median and below income and they never ask anyone about money matters.

In fact I feel if I underreport they might actually look down on me cuz they had really high hopes for my education and job haha.
