This week's Top 10 Opportunities
Issue 820, Mon 17 November, 2025
Dear Escapees,
It’s the week where inboxes fill up with “unmissable deals” and suddenly every company on earth seems convinced you urgently need a second air fryer.
But while the world is busy buying things, it’s worth asking a different question. What’s actually worth investing your time and energy in?
At Escape, we’ve always backed the same answer. Meaningful work, good people, and the kind of purpose you definitely cannot add to basket.
So as the Black Friday noise ramps up, here’s your reminder to pay attention to the things that genuinely matter - your values, your direction, and the kind of work that leaves you with more energy than it takes.
This week’s opportunities are for anyone ready to invest in better things. Work that lasts longer than a discount code.
Happy Escaping,
Team Escape
