My one piece of advice is “Be-Honest”
If you require any reasonable adjustments or assistance, “be honest” in your job application.
“Be honest” in your training. If you don’t understand something, then speak up.
If you need something to be explained again, “be honest” and say you didn’t understand.
“Be Honest” with your aspirations, aims, goals for your career, there are many opportunities which may be applicable for you.
“Be Honest” with yourself and keep your work/life balance right for you.
My experience - I have been honest about my dyslexia. I have received additional help and support throughout my entire HMRC experience. I learnt an enormous amount about myself during "Coping strategy sessions" which allowed me to be more honest with myself and my manager.
Finally, don’t be scared to question things.

I think we can all feel a sense of imposter syndrome, and that inner voice saying you are not capable. You are ! I think we all need to recognise that work can be challenging and not always as straightforward as you want it to be, which is where the doubt can set it. Its all about building that resilience for me, don't give up. If you want something just keep working towards it, even if that means taking it slowly.
