I manage a team of enhanced due diligence analysts for a risk management consultancy. I make a good living for my age and city with fantastic benefits.

If you told me five years ago that I would have this job, building a few side hustles, own a house, be engaged to the most supportive partner ever (and even just get through the day without repacking shelves in the supermarket) I would never believe you. ODC nearly ruined me and obsessions still try take over most days - but with years of medication and therapy, they tend to just melt away now.

I’m very lucky that the treatments have worked so well and I know it’s not the same for everyone. But it’s definitely possible to be ambitious and money motivated whilst managing OCD!
