This paper investigates the perceptions of practitioners mothers and fathers in the ICT field regarding the challenges they encounter in the job market concerning parenthood, with a particular emphasis on gender perspectives. We have conducted a survey with fathers and mothers working in the ICT field to ascertain their perceptions of parenting challenges. Our findings indicate that male practitioners find the organizational culture inclusive towards employees who are parents, while most women don’t feel the same way. Mothers have shown to feel insecure about the impact that maternity leave can have on their careers and reported receiving fewer job opportunities because they have children, while most fathers do not share these concerns.
