I have to say, life is much easier and more peaceful if you find a job with less verbal communication. Prior to my current job, I worked in a warehouse. They paid $30/hr. Barely any speaking require...

Get the qualifications needed and be honest to your employer about your stutter. As long as you continue to work for it and it's something you want to do, go for it. Of course it depends on which gra...

It could be, but truth is you will never know. It depends on what type of job you are going for. If you are an excellent candidate and know your stuff inside and out and a stutter does not affect p...

Low intelligence? You have a degree, Thats HUGE! Doesn't matter what grade is attached to it unless if you want to work in canary walf or wall street. I'm a 23 year old stammerer and I've learnt to ...

I can't live like this anymore.

I can't live like this anymore. Stuttering destroyed my life forever. despite all attempts to heal, it is progressing more and more every year. I don't have the strength to fight anymore. all the teen...

Well, IMO, the good news is that learning the proper habits to significantly decrease blocks will decrease them across the board. I had myself *convinced* that I stressed about answering the phone bc...

That would be illegal for them to do in some places. It's discrimination. On the other hand for yourself, you dodged a bullet as they seem like shitty employers....

It depends on the requirements of the job, the type/intensity of stutter, whether you disclose, and the interviewer. When I was having very hard blocks, I would not have been able to fulfill requirem...

Yes and Yes. Depending on the job, speech can be the determining factor. I'm a software engineer and once I cleared all the selection rounds (both written and interviews) for a job. I had a final mee...

Thanks for sharing. I'm also 40, and have arrived in a similar place with regards to my stutter. I was actually talking about my struggles with stuttering recently with a coworker, and he told me that...

Wouldn’t that be something haha. Though I work for a small-ish indie currently so chances are low…but ya never know....

Well, funny enough, I also work in the gaming industry :) and yes I’ve felt a bit limited in some ways. I see a lot of people in my position giving talks at GDC for example, and personally that sounds...

Same age, pretty much same story. Work presentations and big meetings are stressful, but I work in the gaming industry so people are chill and don’t really care about it. I’m also good at hiding it, t...
