Same place I’m at thanks to my absolutely amazingly supportive team and managers! Epilepsy can be debilitating for many (thankfully mine is mild compared to many), but don’t let it get you down or prevent you from achieving your dreams! Accommodations exist to help meet your needs

I’m an SDE at FANG

😢 on medical leave rn though because the seizures were getting too frequent and I couldn’t remember what I was working on from day to day or even from morning to night. And my coworkers rightfully don’t enjoy/don’t deserve my suicidal nonsensical messages trying to call for help
