In 1990, he was appointed a graduate teacher under the HRD Department in the [[Government of Sikkim]] and served until 1993.

Due to his active interest in social work and politics, he resigned from government service and started participating in the political activities of SDF.

=== Sikkim Krantikari Morcha party ===
Golay became a dissident MLA of the SDF party after the Rolu Picnic event that was conducted by employees of Sikkim on 21 December 2009. The ruling party called a show-cause notice to the government workers who attended the Rolu Picnic.

Following this incident, Golay decided to found the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha, which opposed the SDF, on 4 February 2013 in [[Soreng]], [[West Sikkim]]. On 6 September 2013 he officially resigned from all SDF party duties and became the president of the SKM party. During the election of 2014, the party gained ten of thirty-two seats in the Sikkim State Legislative Assembly under the leadership of Golay. Overall, in the 2014 election, Golay's party shared 42% of total votes in Sikkim.

On 13 January 2017, he was disqualified from the [[Sikkim Legislative Assembly]] after being convicted on 28 December 2016 for misappropriating government funds while with the SDF between 1994 and 1999.<ref>{{cite news |title=MLA disqualified from assembly: Corruption case: Convicted Sikkim MLA disqualified from assembly |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/guwahati/corruption-case-convicted-sikkim-mla-disqualified-from-assembly/articleshow/56514070.cms |access-date=27 May 2019 |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=13 January 2017 |language=en}}</ref> In 2017, he became the main opposition leader of Sikkim, serving as a president of Sikkim Krantikari Morcha.
