I lost a fantastic job offer all thanks to my stutter. Title pretty much says it. Had received a lucrative job offer even in this pandemic. Stuttered like a dying horse in my interview even though I knew the answers. I always prided in the fact that my stutter did not affect my career but I guess that stance has changed now. FML. My career is all I have right now and even that is screwed. I don't know if such rant is allowed on the sub but I have no where else to share this. This stutter is a cruel and unforgiving. 😕
