Breaking into tech today is not what you’ve been told. Everywhere you look, someone is promising a shortcut. Get certified in three months. Land a cybersecurity job fast. Follow this roadmap and you’re guaranteed success. But the reality is more nuanced than that.

In this episode, we have an honest conversation about what actually matters when you’re trying to build a real career in tech. No hype. No magic timelines. Just perspective from someone who is actively navigating the journey right now.

We talk about fundamentals, why so many people skip networking and core skills, the pressure to specialize too early, and how to separate signal from noise in the endless stream of tech career advice online.

If you’ve ever felt behind, confused, or frustrated because your path doesn’t look like the internet promised, this episode is for you. The goal is simple: help you make smarter, longer-term decisions so you can build a career that actually lasts.
