This week's Top 10 Opportunities
Issue 830, Mon 9 February, 2026
Dear Escapees
A quick PSA today.
This Thursday 12th is the final deadline to apply for the next Career Change Accelerator, starting on 17th February.
We’ve been running the Accelerator for over ten years now, and more than 2,600 people have been through the programme. What we’ve seen, time and again, is that the impact goes beyond a job change. It shifts how people make decisions, how they relate to work, and how they approach the rest of their lives too.
A big part of that comes down to the structure. Eight weeks, a clear framework, weekly momentum, and a group of people all asking similar questions at the same time. It turns out that combination matters more than having a neatly laid out plan.
If you’ve been curious but unsure whether it’s right for you, you can read more and apply here>
And if you’d rather hear it straight from someone who’s done it, we’ve got a past participant joining us at 12.30pm today to share their experience and answer questions. Sign up here>
Finally, today’s Top 10 opportunities are listed below: interesting roles at organisations doing work that matters.
Happy Escaping,
Team Escape
