This week's Top 10 Opportunities
Issue 810, Sun 7 September, 2025
Happy Monday Escapees,
Fast forward a few months. It’s December. You’re at the office Christmas do, or catching up with friends over mulled wine. Someone asks: “So, how’s work going?”
How do you want to answer?
“Same as always. I thought about making a change, but it wasn’t the right time.”
Or: “Actually, I started exploring something new - and it feels so good to be moving.”
That moment is less than 12 weeks away. If you’d love to answer differently this year, the autumn cohort of the Career Change Accelerator could be your space to do it - and it’s already filling fast, with over 60% of places taken.
Think of the Accelerator as pressing pause on the treadmill for eight weeks. A space where you can step back, test ideas, and actually hear yourself think, surrounded by people on the same journey.
Applications close 25th September.
This week’s Top 10 opportunities could be the next step for you - a role to apply for, a company to follow, or just a burst of inspiration.
Whatever you do, ask yourself: what would my December self thank me for starting today?
Happy Escaping,
Team Escape
P.S. Want a real feel for what the Accelerator is like? This Thursday (11th Sept, 12.30pm BST) we’re hosting a free taster session + live Q&A with an alumni. You’ll hear first-hand how they navigated change, the wobbles and the wins, and get your questions answered.
It’s a chance to see behind the scenes to decide if the Accelerator is right for you.
