You can definitely come out after being hired, i think that’s probably your best move here

i’m also nonbinary which makes it more difficult; should i say i’m a trans man instead (im chill with he/him to a degree, she/her is what makes me want to crawl into a pit and decay) i’ve got a more “normal” name i could go by for this route (my chosen name is a noun in typical enby fashion lol) but yea i REALLY don’t want to have to be closeted the whole time but i want to be hired so like help please 😭 (im going into the animation / gaming field)

I applied with my chosen name (it is very gender neutral) and once I get hired full time I’m going to come out fully

And then my legal name is only used for payroll and travel (I’m a software dev for context)
