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.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
