Are investment bankers on adderall

Hot take: there’s no way that these people can stay up until 4-5am everyday and still function as normal humans.

There’s an associate on my team that has not gone to bed before 4am for months. He’s either on a stimulant or he’s supernatural, you tell me.

Adderall was never tabood for me, was exposed to it like it was a Tylenol. Never thought of it as a hard drug. I grew up in a family where both my brother AND mom were prescribed adderall. My father says that if they were diagnosing kids with add/adhd when he was a kid then he would've been on it too. I was the only one in the family not on that and or anxiety meds. Though I'm sure I could've got on them both if I wanted. It did make me upset my mom took it, especially as an older woman now like she’s some crackhead.

If you are needing adderall to work, then you are over staffed. Communicate that w the staffer or lateral. Addy shouldn't be used as a crutch, there were plenty times I used it to pull all nighters but insane amounts of caffeine makes for the same effect.
