This week's Top 10 Opportunities

Issue 763, Sun 6 October, 2024

Happy Monday Escapees,


Did you know that today marks the start of National Work-Life Week? For the whole of this week the spotlight is on that ever-elusive goal: balance. And if there’s one thing we love at Escape the City, it’s a good ol’ National Day or Week – because, honestly, what better excuse to talk about something we care about? (Stay tuned for National 'We Need More Sleep' Day. We're working on it.)


Work-life balance is one of those things that sounds lovely in theory but often feels like an impossible juggle. We’ve all had those weeks where the "life" part of the equation has been sacrificed in the name of deadlines, meetings, and endless email threads. But this week is a chance to pause and ask, “Is this working?”


Work-life balance isn’t just about squeezing in more relaxation (though we’re all for that, too). It’s about making sure your career supports your life, not takes over it. It’s about figuring out what you need to feel like you're in control, not running on autopilot.


At Escape, we’re all about helping people find work that feels energising, not soul-sucking. So, if your balance feels a little off, maybe it's time to explore what’s missing. What would need to change for you to feel more in charge of your time, your energy, and your happiness?

Now, we’re not saying you need to quit your job and move to a beach hut (though that sounds tempting, doesn’t it?). But sometimes, a few small adjustments or a fresh perspective can make a big difference.


And if you’re feeling like a bigger shift is needed – keep reading for this week’s 10 remarkable opportunities waiting for you on Escape the City. You might just find your next adventure, whether it's a more fulfilling role or something that finally brings that elusive balance into your life.

Because you deserve work that fits your life – not the other way around.


Happy Escaping,


Elena, Dom, Aman, Charlotte & Charlotte T
