pushd needs to operate on the current shell, rather than in a child
process.  When you use a pipeline, as you did here, each command in the
pipeline runs in a separate child process ("subshell").

A useful approach for your problem (if I'm guessing it correctly) may be
to send the output of pushd to /dev/null and then look at the $PWD
variable afterward, to see where you are.
