Looking to leave audit and go into sustainability/ESG, however roles in SA is very limited as there are no formal regulations or requirements around sustainability reporting yet.

Are there any companies with entry level roles for ESG consultants AND who is open to international applications? I get almost immediately rejected for most US/UK positions I apply to due to being in South Africa.

Transferring departments within the firm is tough, especially trying to go from audit to advisory.

I have worked on a few ESG engagements and I confirm it’s just a matter of charging clients for incrementally more contrived power points/ flowcharts.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
