Education & Experience

For me, the biggest challenge wasn’t so much at work, but adjusting to how my role shifted at home. Before having kids, I was very focused on work — afterwards, my focus naturally shifted. Being away from them was hard at first, but that changes over time. What really helped was the support structure OC&C has in place to guide you through that transition.

I felt genuinely supported through the transition to parenthood — HR reached out early on and set up regular catch-ups, creating space to talk through challenges and adjust. There’s also a global training programme and a parents panel where senior colleagues share their own experiences. Hearing from partners who’ve been through it made a big difference.
