About the directory

Navigating by guesswork is expensive.

Book a consultancy slot

Sometimes you need more than a directory. Choosing the right study, writing a motivation letter that lands, weighing a job prospect, untangling a challenging assignment — or simply talking to someone who has worked in this field for many years and hearing how the journey actually goes. That's what these 30-minute calls are for.

Step 1 — What do you need help with?

Step 2 — Tell me about it

Step 3 — Pay & pick your slot

Submit the form above first — the PayPal payment link for your chosen topic and the booking calendar open here. Your slot is confirmed once the payment is matched, and the calendar invitation with a Google Meet link arrives by email.

Working in sustainability.

What a career in this field actually feels like, told first-person by the people living it — the reports, the font meetings, the friend groups, and why we keep going anyway.

From the editor

You think about the impact you want to make. Being a force of good. Becoming an expert. Then reality hits.

A career in sustainability can be a roller coaster. The prospect of saving the world from planetary boundaries overshoot is alluring — and then the first corporate job where you thought you would be saving marine life from extinction has you writing reports about marine life extinction. Not bad, to be busy with the object you love. Then come the meetings.

Scenes from the field

Scene 01

The font meeting

Most people around you working in "sustainability" — unless you're at an NGO — care more about the wrong font you selected, and whether the report should have 5 pages or 50.

Scene 02

The legal pass

Will legal allow you to write climate crisis, or does it become climate "situation" — a softened out and completely dumbed down version, stripped of any objective sense to avoid their litigation risk?

Scene 03

The friend group

One friend spends his days on Ansys creating meshes for turbine fluid dynamics and has never heard of SBTi. Another writes finance KPIs for the sustainability statement in the annual report. No overlap — all of it "sustainability".

The ride

The downs

You read scientists warning that 1.5°C is almost out of reach, and fear that nothing might be enough.
Your actions feel too small in too big a world.
Pushback, a wave of omnibus-like simplifications, and boardroom strategy talks taken over.

The ups

Everyone in the community knows each other — not that many people are engaged, so every single one counts. You keep going.
The energy transition is happening faster than any analyst could have ever imagined, and developing economies are leapfrogging incumbents.
Twenty years from the hippie tree huggers' hobby to mainstream boardroom presence. The field is maturing, defining itself, finding its way.

"Say no to the tragedy of the commons; we are the commons."

Why we keep going

Because if I leave — then what? Reports still need to be written to give stakeholders transparency; deep tech still needs to be developed in garages and labs across the world, at the massive scale and speed that is needed. From the tegels you replace in your own little garden to the square kilometres of green rooftops you convince your employer to deploy: the revolution is local, and it is taking over the world.

Confessions from the field.

Anonymous, unvarnished stories from the people who study sustainability and the people who practise it — the debt, the job hunt, the greenwash, the salaries, and the things you could never say in a LinkedIn post. Every story is reviewed and stripped of identifying details before publication; employers are only ever described in broad terms.
