I think any of the industry positions where you’re either taking the title of Sustainability Manager or higher is where I’d consider it. You just have to remember that there’s more limited mobility in industry, so I wouldn’t switch if I were going to be a low level report within a larger team that was solely doing the reporting or data collection/analysis. I’d want a role where you’re actively shaping the direction of an ESG strategy or executing it if at a larger tech firm.

If a firm has multiple openings that you’re interested in, is it a good or bad idea to apply to more than one position? I’m a third year interested in retooling from lit to general corp, but they prefer someone with 3+ years of corporate experience. They’re also looking for an M&A with 1+ years, so it may be easier to aim for that, but I’ve heard horror stories re WLB for M&A. Would still try it out tho bc I’m desperate to leave lit, but don’t want to make a faux pas. Any insights appreciated!
