Transfer Your Skills to a Green Job with Work on Climate’s Eugene Kirpichov
Eugene Kirpichov had a great job as a software engineer at Google. But he left it all behind. As he expressed in a resignation letter that went viral on LinkedIn, “the scale, urgency and tragedy of climate change are so immense that I can no longer justify to myself working on anything else.” That letter, which urged others to follow suit, set the course for his career path. He would go on to co-found the wildly successful Work on Climate community, which today boasts more than 20,000 members. It’s been lauded everywhere from Fast Company to The New York Times.
In the latest installment of The Year of the Climate Job, Kirpichov shares how you can take stock of your own skills, which are likely far more climate-ready than you realize. And he shares his vision for making climate work “mainstream,” along with how he and his co-founders started Work on Climate as a Slack community and built it into the mighty army of planet-saving professionals that it is today.
