Parents £100,000 Childcare Cliff Edge - Part-Time Work & Finances

Stories I'm currently working on for newspapers - where you or PRs could help! I have a few features I'm working for national newspapers and I'm pulling together some personal stories to help bring them to life. I'm also working on a few events coming up. Can you help with the below? - Are you affected by the £100,000 childcare cliff edge? I'm looking for parents to come forward of how they're managing it. Have you gone part-time? I'm looking to speak to one more case study. - Earnings imbalances in couples. I'm looking to speak to someone who earns more or less than their partner and how they manage it. - Do you have experience of discussing your salary with colleagues? It can either be a positive story or one about how disastrous it was. - Did you get a job in an unusual way in 2026? For example, used a direct approach (telephone, going into the office) that paid off? (Already got some great stories from this but would ideally like a couple more to choose from!) - Are you a large enterprise operating a successful Global Capability Centre (GCC)? I'd love to hear from you for a Financial Times event. -- Please get in touch with me. I also go into more details about these in my upcoming Pitch to Published newsletter, out Monday, if you're interested to find out more. Thank your for any leads! #journorequest
