I've actually moved into management because it's very on-demand in many ways, which means I don't need as much self motivation and deep focus as an engineer. People I have to see in meetings are expecting me and the scope and diversity of stuff I work on is significantly increased. People would think it's the other way around as a manager, but it's not as much as you think. I still rely on writing a lot of things down to keep myself structured and make plans too. So far my reports and my manager are pretty happy with me as far as I can tell.

Also going into therapy and getting meds will also help you a bunch. I think that will be more effective than necessarily trying to find the right kind of company. Try looking at this guide about adderal by a psychiatrist: https://lorienpsych.com/2020/10/30/adderall/
