Our new way to search for purposeful work

Issue 834, Mon 9 March, 2026

Dear Escapees,

We hear from a lot of people right now who are good at their jobs and miserable about it. Experienced, capable, CV in good shape, and stuck on what comes next. Not a breakdown. Just a slow realisation that the thing they got good at isn't the thing they want to keep doing.

You probably aren't searching for Head of Learning if your background is consulting. Head of Growth at a drinks brand doesn't obviously follow ten years in corporate marketing. Programme Manager at a foundation in Cambodia sounds like it's for someone else.

This week's Top 10 is full of roles that will do that to you. Don't let them.

What the organisations on our job board are hiring for is harder to put on a CV: drive, critical thinking, the ability to work with ambiguity, genuine care about the mission. Those things don't show up in a job title match. They show up when someone reads your application and sees that you've spent years solving hard problems, working with people, and delivering things that mattered.

You probably have what they need. Why not give it a shot.

Happy Escaping,

Team Escape
