Managing Energy During Interview Loops

Interview loops are energy problems as much as technical ones — especially for ADHD and autistic engineers.

This piece is still being written. What you see below is a preview.

A senior loop is 4–6 hours of high-stakes focus. For ADHD and autistic engineers, the hidden problem isn’t the questions — it’s the energy accounting.

This guide is a placeholder. The full piece will cover:

  • Why standard “just get sleep” advice fails
  • Structuring prep days so loop-day isn’t peak cognitive load
  • Micro-recoveries between rounds
  • When to ask for accommodations, and when not to bother

Coming soon.
