Has anyone here actually made a successful pivot into ESG or sustainability work? I keep seeing job titles like ESG Reporting Manager and Sustainability Analyst, and it feels like a space where accounting skills might be useful. But I also don’t want to jump into something that’s all talk. Is ESG a legit career path for accountants, or is it just the latest round of corporate greenwashing? And if it is legit, where do you even start?

ESG is the Wild West right now. If you’re passionate, learn the standards (GRI, SASB, CSRD) and start positioning your accounting work as “risk & impact analysis.”

ESG is a marketing scam that funders used to draw investment dollars in, and then Democrats tried to make the largest compliance boondoggle in history. Thank god they failed.

I would avoid anything that says ESG anything.

Make sure the title and work stands on it’s own.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
