Plus, it’s hard to see the generation above you going home to their cosy homes and children when you may never be able to afford them. “People on my team can log on at 9.30am and log off at 3pm to do the school run, but I’m expected to be available from 8am to 8pm because I don’t have kids,” Rowan says.
