If you attended our first lunch & launch virtual speaker series yesterday, THANK YOU!

Nada Buhendi is a career transition coach with 15+ years of experience working with thousands of job-seekers and career pivoters, helping them land jobs at big tech and consulting firms.

Here are the four big take aways from her session:

  • **Define your “sweet spot”**—your unique value—to pivot without starting over. This clarifies your transferable skills, enabling you to target roles aligned with your mastery and communicate your value effectively.

  • Package your value like premium bottled water, not a free glass. Articulate the specific problems you solve and the impact you make to command a premium, rather than relying on a generic title.

  • Reframe your next role as a “right now move,” not a “forever move.” This mindset reduces pressure and imposter syndrome, making it easier to take the next step.

  • Use career gaps for skill-building. Volunteer, do pro-bono work, or start a side project to create current experience and a portfolio, demonstrating you are actively engaged.


Our next lunch & launch session will be held on June 24, 2026 at 12 PM EST with a tech recruiter: What recruiters are really looking for in 2026.

Details will be shared next week!
