Escape the city is a job board and expert-led community for purpose-driven work and progressive employers.
Since 2010, Escape the City has been helping professionals leave the corporate world behind and find meaningful work they’re passionate about. They’re all about connecting you with projects you believe in and with organisations that do things differently – i.e. employ ethical practices, ensure social impact, apply a people-first approach, etc.
If you’re eager to work with progressive organisations, change careers or even start a business, Escape the City may have the resources you need to shape a more meaningful career path. It’s a good platform for anyone who wants to redress or maintain their work/life balance in whatever way is important to them.
This organisation could be a good starting point for those looking to make the move away from a traditional working style and explore the options available, both project-based and otherwise.
The pros
The cons
The website is clear and simple to navigate, and the tags feature on the job listings is helpful for finding the right role for you. Application experiences will vary depending on whether the role was listed directly by a client or via Escape the city.
Once you sign up, you’ll get regular emails that feature jobs of interest and highlight resources to help those looking to make a career change.
You can view the current opportunities without creating a profile. Signing up is easy – it only takes 60 seconds to create an account.
Here at The Portfolio Collective, we also have plenty of consultative roles listed on our opportunities page and shared through our community. If you’re interested in getting matched with relevant roles when they come up, we also encourage you to complete your TPC profile to ensure you’re found and tagged for those opportunities.
If you have additional insights on this platform, please email [email protected].
