The job hunt used to feel like progress. You’d send an application, get a reply, maybe even an interview. Now? It feels like shouting into space. Hundreds of applications for one role. Silence from every corner. It’s easy to start wondering if it’s you. It’s not. The system has changed, and so has the way we live and work, but they just haven’t caught up with each other yet. Our latest Escape article is about exactly that: how to navigate today’s job market and still find work that feels like a fit. It’s for anyone tired of the endless scroll, ready to move differently instead. Read it here>

The world of work keeps shifting. New tools, new roles, new ways of doing almost everything. It can feel fast, but it’s also full of possibility. The trick is staying open, curious, and adaptable enough to move with it. That’s the navigator’s mindset: curiosity over control, awareness over certainty. It’s not about having a fixed plan, but learning as you go and adjusting your course along the way. This week’s Top 10 Opportunities are for the explorers, the ones shaping their next chapter with curiosity, courage, and a sense of direction. ⚡ Explore them all> https://bit.ly/40E6fi0 🌀 “We find our way by moving, not by waiting for the map.” #CareerChange #FutureOfWork #MeaningfulWork #Top10Opportunities #EscapetheCity

More people than ever are rethinking what “good work” means, and it’s rarely just about the job title. For some, it’s freedom. For others, it’s purpose. For most, it’s a mix of both. At Escape the City, we hear from thousands of people every year who want their work to feel human again, to make sense, not just money. But when push comes to shove, something usually has to come first. What would it be for you? Vote below, and tell us why in the comments ✨

Marie Curie raised two daughters and won two Nobel Prizes. Was it balance - or harmony between roles? This HBR piece makes a smart point: instead of chasing “work–life balance,” we can look for ways our personal and professional goals support each other. At Escape, we see this all the time in career change. People assume they need to choose: security or freedom, impact or income, family or ambition. But when you design work around what matters most, the “either/or” starts to look more like a “both/and.” 🔗 Full article here: https://bit.ly/4gXJRHE Worth reflecting: are your goals working with each other, or pulling you in different directions?

Not all career changes lead to co-working spaces and start-up life. Ardnamurchan Lighthouse Trust is hiring a Manager - yes, a real lighthouse manager. 🌊 This isn’t the lonely keeper stereotype. It’s about running a heritage site, welcoming visitors, and preserving a slice of Scotland’s history. Roles like this remind us that meaningful work comes in many forms. For some, it’s building tech. For others, it’s protecting culture and place. 🔗 See the role here: https://bit.ly/4887A5v What’s the most unusual role you’ve ever come across?
