This week's Top 10 Opportunities
Issue 866, Sun 18 October, 2026
Dear Escapees,
Arctic Monkeys and Olivia Rodrigo are on the same album, which already sounds like an ambitious attempt to keep everyone happy on a long car journey.
The album is HELP(2), released earlier this year in support of War Child’s work with children living through conflict. It’s also shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, with the winner being announced this Thursday. You can enjoy the record as a record; the reason it was made gives you another reason to listen.
We’ve spent years helping people change careers at Escape, and this programme takes that work in a particular direction: helping experienced people use what they’re good at to tackle some of the world’s most important problems.
There’s something appealing about being able to care deeply about the work itself and what it makes possible for someone else. Starting on 3 November, Escape to Impact will help participants work out where their experience could be useful and start taking practical steps towards a move, through conversations, applications and the support of a small group doing the same.

This week’s Top 10 is below, too. You could put the album on while you browse, although we accept no responsibility for getting distracted by the music.
Happy Escaping,
Team Escape
