Our new way to search for purposeful work

Issue 828, Mon 26 January, 2026

Dear Escapees,

Things people rarely say out loud about work:

• “I’m good at this, but I’m not sure I care anymore.”
• “I spend more time talking about work than doing the part I actually enjoy.”
• “This job made sense once. I’m not sure it still does.”
• “I’ve got used to being tired in a way that doesn’t feel temporary.”
• “If I’m honest, I wouldn’t choose this again.”
• “I keep telling myself I should be grateful, but that’s starting to wear thin.”

None of this feels urgent at first, but ignored long enough it starts to matter.

Escape exists for people who notice these thoughts and don’t immediately dismiss them.

This week’s Top 10 brings together roles at organisations trying to do work that’s useful, thoughtful, and worth showing up for.

And if you want help thinking properly about what comes next, the Career Change Accelerator starts in February. Early bird pricing ends this Wednesday 28th January, and you can apply here. It’s for people who want space to think clearly and choose what comes next a bit more deliberately. We’re also hosting a free Q&A tomorrow at 12:30pm GMT  if you want to explore it first. You can find more details here.

Happy Escaping,
