Becoming a Cybersecurity Auditor changed my life. I’ve now dedicated my life to helping others do the same.

Want to get into tech, but have no coding experience? You need to look at the GRC (governance risk and compliance) space. Check out jobs like cybersecurity auditor, compliance analyst, and IT risk analyst. They may not get the shine they deserve, but they bring in a big paycheck.

I started my career with a $33K salary and no tech experience. Before quitting to form Baxter Clewis, I was making about 200K as an External Auditor. I still don’t have a degree and never paid for a certification. So, if I can do it, you can too!

Ready to be surprised? I’m an internationally known cybersecurity expert and I don’t know how to code. In the GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) space, you can easily make 6-figures with no coding required. This is a great area to check out to elevate your career.

Certifications don’t work when it comes to leveling up your salary and position. Why? Because passing a test does not mean you are good at your job. My advice: focus on becoming a master of a skill set that brings value, then you’ll get paid.

Have a certification but can’t seem to find a job? Unfortunately, you won’t even hear back from most jobs unless you have something that makes you different. So, instead of certifications, work on developing an in-demand niche.
