How to land a job in climate tech

Interesting post by the Stack Overflow Blog, if you are a "climate quitter", a coder or enthousiast like me. Great to propagate for a broader audience.

Specially in times with headlinies like these:

• "Deadly wildfires burning across Maui prompt evacuations" "This has definetivelly been the worst day in Maui's history" (Clint Hansen, Maui Real Estate Radio)

• "Companies with good ESG scores pollute as much as low-rated rivals"

• "‘We have never seen it so low’: Spain introduces water restrictions as reservoirs run dry"

• "Fruit is disappearing from Italian orchards due to extreme weather, farmers warn"

• "Rains from super typhoon flood China's main grain producing region"

• "Disappearing clouds exacerbate warming"

Back to the Stack Overflow Blog, according to the author - Ritika Puri - "Climate tech is a niche industry and requires specific strategies to get a job in ... a smart move for engineers seeking more meaning and purpose at work."

Here Ritika's tips:

1. Stop making excuses for why you can’t do it

2. Don’t expect recruiters to find you

3. Explore climate-tech focused job boards

4. Follow the financing

5. Join a cohort-based community

6. Create your own job by building direct relationships with employers

The World needs you. And your team mates.

(Before we get smaller ;-) according to a 2022 post by the WEF, "Could humans become smaller in response to climate change?")
