请问HN:你是如何应对非法解雇的?
我最近在请求对我的残疾进行合理调整后被解雇了。我属于自闭症谱系,曾请求在工作表现上不被惩罚,如果我因为被直接上司大喊而不得不退到会议室里冷静一下——其他的要求也很简单,比如不经允许不要碰我,因为有人习惯于从我身后悄悄靠近并吓到我,而不是发个团队消息。(如果你有感官敏感问题,这会是个问题)
这其实不是我第一次在职场上遭遇歧视。
不幸的是,我所从事的领域相对专业(信息安全)。
尽管我在寻找分析师职位时的经验比上次多,且有一些在家实验室无法学到的技能,比如SIEM和有文档记录的渗透测试经验,但我却没有获得一个电话面试或面试机会。
由于最近的地缘政治,似乎“转向联邦”并不是一个选项。
你会如何处理上述情况?我应该扩大搜索范围,尝试其他职位吗?也许转向销售或其他领域?
在我上次求职时,障碍似乎在于我无法证明我的经验,因为我大多是自学成才,但至少我得到了面试,人们似乎尊重我对自己技能的诚实以及对该领域的真正兴趣。(这实际上是我的“特殊兴趣”——我每天都会阅读HN和我自己创建的多重子版块,以跟上信息安全的发展)
我感到非常沮丧——我放弃了从事技术政策的梦想,回到家乡作为黑客,而我在当地政府的角色是有意义的,并且有很好的福利。(养老金、假期等)
我可以接受自己不适合华盛顿的文化,但我觉得我的故乡辜负了我。
抛开情感不谈,从实际角度来看……我需要收入。
有没有人经历过类似的情况?你是如何获得面试并最终找到工作的?有没有什么项目可以帮助我提升市场竞争力?
(过去我曾飞往Defcon进行网络交流,但由于我的经济状况,今年这已经不可行。)

I was recently terminated after requesting accommodations for my disability. I’m on the spectrum, and asked to not be penalized for performance if I had to retreat to a conference room to decompress after being screamed at by my direct supervisor – the rest was pretty basic stuff like don’t touch me without permission since people had a habit of sneaking up behind me and startling me rather than send a teams message. (An issue if you have sensory issues)<p>This is not actually the first time I’ve dealt with discrimination in the workplace.<p>Unfortunately, I work in a relatively specialized field (infosec).<p>Despite having more experience than during my last job search for analyst roles, some of it on things you simply can’t learn on in a home lab like a SIEM + having documented pentest experience, I haven’t gotten a single phone screen or interview.<p>Due to recent geopolitics “going federal” doesn’t appear to be an option.<p>How would you deal with a situation like the above? Should I expand my search to other titles? Maybe go into sales or something?<p>During my last search, the barrier seemed to be I couldn’t document my experience since I was mostly self taught, but I was at least getting interviews and people seemed to respect that I was honest in my skills and had a genuine interest in the subject matter. (It’s actually my “special interest” – every day I read HN + a custom multireddit I made to stay abreast of developments in infosec)<p>I’m feeling really dejected – I gave up on a dream of doing tech policy to “return to my roots” as a hacker here in my home county and my role, which was for a local government, was rewarding and had great benefits. (Pension, time off etc.)<p>I could handle not being a cultural fit for DC, but I feel like my homeland has abused me.<p>Feelings aside, as a practical matter… I need income.<p>Has anyone else navigated a situation like this? How did you manage to get interviews and eventually a role? Are there any projects I could do to help make myself more marketable?<p>(In the past I’ve done things like fly out to network at Defcon but that is not feasible this year due to my financial situation.)
