Sorry for the blogpost but as someone who is low maintenance I've enjoyed doing small jobs as a programmer rather than working for the big leagues, but an opportunity came up for me to get hired by a megacorporation that pays pretty well. The problem is that I'm pretty much a schizo when it comes to what's known around these places as "botnet" and the idea of having to show my face or even just talk in Zoom meetings or whatever stresses me the fuck out so I don't know if I should suck it up and pretend I'm not mentally ill and probably fail spectacularly, try to find a way to avoid having to engage in their online meetings, or keep being poor, which I don't really mind much. What would you do if you were me?

If you're actually diagnosed with some kind of schizo brain couldn't you try and swing some kind of disability accommodations where you don't have to use cameras and shit?

You can imagine why I don't want to go to a shrink and explain my situation (I'm paranoid as fuck), haha.

Shit, well maybe just try asking them? If you're weighing up not taking the job over such things it might be worth just asking if they can cut such things out for you and still give you the job. I suppose how likely this is to work depends on if they've headhunted you or if you've just seen a job you really want to apply for.
You could also just try playing it off as serious anxiety and preferring to communicate in text, but they're probably going to take your name and picture for ID purposes won't they?

i'd say you should try to first get the job then talk about your anxiety. an interviewer might deem you unworthy of slaving away for porky if you admit to any kind of weakness right off the bat, you should wait for when the meetings actually start

Work on having an alter ego sort of thing for normie interactions. Try to isolate your work activity from home activity with VPNS or whatever method you choose. You can get away with isolating parts of your life from one another if you're consistent. Keep work interactions, emails, communications as simple and washed down as possible.
