Giving is my fuel.

I felt like I was locked in a cage, producing excel reports for executives that looked at them for just a few seconds at most. I wasn’t impacting anyone. My future was bound to be filled with useless meetings as the core of my personality, my passion for helping people, wasted away.

Did you know that 95% of job postings are inaccurate and misleading? The job search and interview process is broken. Many good candidates pass over listings because they don’t feel they’re good enough and, instead, unfit candidates apply. There is also a stigma associated with people without college degrees, who’re most often left behind as a result. You wouldn't judge your mechanic by his/her ability to pass a math test, would you? 

For job seekers who are seeking employment or looking to transition, NoDegree provides customized career strategy assistance. 

For businesses who need assistance with their recruiting and interview process, NoDegree’s role allows you to gain a competitive advantage by having “the right” employee. While you focus on your company culture and bottom line, the candidate you need for your business is being filtered and found. 

Most recruiters just try to push candidates through so they can get their fee. NoDegree is different. Through the established relationship with the candidate, knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses, NoDegree only places them in environments that they will excel in.

NoDegree works with companies that see past the college degree. Companies like Google, VaynerMedia, IBM and others are on the forefront of this new trend. I am a fierce advocate for extraordinary individuals who have chosen to bypass the traditional college route and go straight into impacting the world. 

I remember all the people that were kind to me and my mission is to make a difference in companies and in lives. Empathy makes the world a better place and I’m proud to be a contributor. My dream of giving for a living has come true in so many ways. 

Let’s connect. I have not hit the 30K connection limit. Send me a message if you feel we can work together. I will provide the highest level of service because that's what you deserve.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Tech Professional Looking to Switch Jobs? DM me | ✍️ Resume Writing 🤝 Interview Coaching 🚀 Salary Negotiation 🍒 Co-Founder at Next Badge

After 28 years in the tech trenches, I've become a 3x award-winning job search coach helping senior manager, director and executives land their ideal roles.

My journey began as a Full Stack Software Developer, evolving through Business Analyst and Product Owner roles across multinationals, government agencies, and startups.

Most recently, I led scrum cross-functional teams as a consultant at Scotiabank, keeping my finger on the pulse of industry trends, in-demand skills, and what hiring managers really want.

Then 2020 happened.

Mass layoffs.
Industry upheaval.
Career uncertainty.

That's when I co-founded Next Badge – a revolutionary job search and career development program built specifically for senior tech professionals and executives navigating rapid industry changes.

What makes us different?

We've created a strategic, industry-first job search framework that combines cutting-edge technology, powerful mindset shifts, and data-driven strategies that actually work.

Since 2018, we've helped over 1,000 senior tech professionals and executives land their next opportunity, growing to:

• 75,000+ email subscribers
• 200,000+ LinkedIn followers
• 100,000+ LinkedIn newsletter subscribers

The secret?

I've been where you are.

I understand the unique challenges tech professionals face when transitioning between roles or companies.

You don't need generic advice.
You don't need outdated strategies.
You need someone who knows the tech industry inside and out.

I'm regularly invited as a keynote speaker, podcast guest, and panelist at industry events, sharing insights on career growth, job market trends, and navigating the ever-evolving tech landscape.

Want to future-proof your tech career in this rapidly changing market?

Product Owner

Brian Golod, CSPO

76% of NVIDIA employees are now millionaires.

1 in 3 has over $20 million.

Let that land for a second.

Now ask yourself: what did your company give its executives this year?

Equity grants. Performance bonuses tied to company growth. Options that vest as the company wins.

What did they give you?

A 3% raise. If that.

This is what companies actually think you are worth.

Not what they say in your performance review. What they put in your compensation package when the company is doing well.

When the business grows, executives participate in that wealth.

Senior, manager, and director-level professionals get a small salary bump that often does not keep up with inflation.

That gap does not happen by accident. It is the structure they chose.

Companies that treat employees as actual contributors give them a stake in the outcome.

The ones that do not have already decided what your ceiling is.

Staying loyal does not change that math.

If your employer has been winning while your compensation has been flat, you already know what they think of your value.

The only question is what you are going to do about it.

My Switch Jobs Challenge runs March 2-6. Five days to build the strategy that gets you in front of companies that actually pay for what you bring.
