Sharing my interview pivot story for other neurodivergent folks here
Apr 29, 2026
Posting this in case it's useful to anyone in a similar boat. After reading the Risk Efficacy chapters last fall I started explicitly framing my interview answers around the four pillars rather than around the standard "tell me about a time when" format. I'd say things like "this is a calibration story" or "this is an informed-navigation example." Two effects: (1) interviewers without the vocabulary asked good follow-up questions because the framing was unfamiliar enough to be interesting; (2) interviewers with the vocabulary basically jumped a stage. Got an offer at a company that would have screened me out a year earlier.
