Update 1.4.0: Career Portal (US)

Career Portal is here!!!

Your income is now something you can control and have more agency over.. The Career Portal adds a live jobs board with job openings, courses and degrees that qualify you for higher paying roles, and promotions and raises that come with time.

Apply, interview, and climb from your current job to the executive suite- if you want, and pay for courses/degrees to upskill and hopefully land raises- though like in IRL raises are not guaranteed but you never know till you take your chances! This feature is first rolling up in the US market, with rest of the regions coming soon as we collect feedback. This feature is NOT available in Play Your Life- yet! I'm working on it since Play your Life needs to grow within your real life career- so still perfecting that.

Share any feedback, and thank you for loving Escape the Grind!
