Struggle to fit life in around work?
Believe going part-time is a career risk?
Think part-time and senior roles don't mix?

Part-time work has an image problem. The common perception is that it equals part-commitment and career decline. The common experience is trying to squeeze a full-time role into part-time hours. And while we view part-time as viable for mid-level roles, it's widely considered a no-go for senior positions.

Challenge your assumption that more hours = more impact.
