About us
Escape the City is a global community of talented corporate professionals who want to ‘do something different’.
Escape the City was born in London where we (Dom & Rob) were working as management consultants in the heart of the corporate world - ‘the City'.
We wanted to move on from our jobs but we were struck by how hard it was to make the leap. Where were all the genuinely viable, exciting alternatives?
It turns out that most of our friends and colleagues were struggling with the same challenge: “If not this, then what?”
Escape the City is the answer to that question.
We are on a mission to help talented people escape from unfulfilling corporate jobs. We believe there is more to life than doing work that doesn't matter to you.
Do Something Different
Our motto is ‘do something different’ and we are building Esc to provide you with the information, connections and opportunities you need to make the leap. Whether you want to find an exciting new job, start your own business or go on a big adventure - you're in the right place.
