I left my 22-year corporate IT career at under $200K. I tried 3 things in the next two years. All three failed. Then I went back to the market and got invited to interviews for roles that paid $430K-440K. Nobody asked about the 2-year gap or questioned where I'd been. The roles came because I'd figured something out in those two years that I wish someone had told me twenty years earlier: There's a job market at the senior level that most people never see. That's where the real roles move. Someone mentions a name in a meeting. A recruiter calls someone they already trust. A hiring leader reaches out to a person they've been watching on LinkedIn. That's how $300K+ roles get filled. Most of them never hit LinkedIn or SEEK. After 22 years in senior IT, I built Careerly360 to teach senior IT professionals what I learned the hard way. I work with three types of people: 1. Lost the job, or stuck below their level. Strong operators being seen one or two levels below where they should be, or out of the market entirely. They need to make a Leap. 2. Have the role, can't grow inside it. Working hard, getting busy, watching others get promoted past them. They don't need a new job. They need to know how to Grow inside the organisation. 3. Doing well, want to own the space. At the top of their org with nowhere left to climb internally. They want to become an industry leader — the Top 1% in their field. My work focuses on 3 things: 1. Clarity - what makes you valuable and what your next move should be. 2. Communication - turning your experience into a story that makes your level and impact obvious. 3. Connection - accessing the hidden market where senior roles move through trust. Over the last 4.5 years, I've helped 150+ senior professionals create breakthroughs across Australia, New Zealand, India, the US, UK, Europe, and the Middle East.
