Welcome back to "The TechTual Talk," I'm your host Henri, and today we have a special guest, Markeisha, CEO of "UDeserveIT Consulting," ready to dive deep into the realities of working in tech. In this episode titled "The Truth about Working inTech," we're unpacking everything from financial planning, resume building, job searching, to myths and pressures in the tech industry.
Markeisha and I will discuss the significance of finding joy in your tech role, not just the paycheck, and why an exit strategy is crucial for high earners. Get ready for invaluable financial tips as we explore the world of trading and investment accounts.
But it's not all dollars and cents. We're equally focused on personal growth—Markeisha will stress the importance of surrounding yourself with motivators and the power of collaboration. Meanwhile, I'll share why you should be cautious with advice, especially from those without skin in the game.
We'll also navigate the tricky waters of cybersecurity gigs, the smoke and mirrors on social media, and the inner workings of hiring in tech. Plus, don't miss our candid chat on living and working in Dallas, networking must-dos, and why personality can sometimes trump technical prowess.
From Markeisha's career services to my project that kicked off in 2020, this episode is packed with personal stories, practical strategies, and a sprinkle of humor as we even touch on life's lighter topics, like the surprising quality of strip club cuisine.
So, tune in for an enlightening discussion that promises to empower your tech career and entertain in equal measure. Remember, for more The TechTual Talk and early access to content just like this, subscribe to our Patreon. Let's get started!
