Tech Jobber Podcast

Digital transformation isn't a buzzword — it's one of the highest-paid, least-understood career paths in tech. 

In this episode, digital transformation executive Alan Wizemann breaks down how he led change at Target, AT&T, Dollar Shave Club, Lululemon, and Southern Glazers — with no degree and no MBA. If you're eyeing a digital transformation career, a digital transformation consultant path, or you just want to know how transformation actually works inside billion-dollar companies, this is the insider breakdown nobody gives you.

We get into why ~50% of transformations fail (and it's not the tech), the contrarian metrics philosophy he swears by, the Target Cartwheel story that became a multi-billion-dollar product, and why product management is the #1 on-ramp into transformation leadership.

🎙️ In this episode:

✅ What digital transformation actually means (beyond the buzzword)

✅ Why most transformations fail — and the real fix

✅ The Target contrarian bet that paid off big

✅ How to break into transformation leadership (the PM path)

✅ Building a career with no degree and no MBA

But that’s not what gets recruiters interested.

What actually matters is differentiation.

In this video, we break down the exact LinkedIn strategy that helped an entry-level cloud engineer go from zero recruiter outreach to getting hired in just 30 days.

GTM Engineer is the tech role everyone's arguing about — is it the next $250K career, or just RevOps with a new title?

In this breakdown I compare two real "GTM Engineer" job postings: the builder-first role paying $190K–$230K + equity, and the rebranded RevOps version capping around $120K.

You'll learn what a GTM Engineer actually does (Clay, Python, API enrichment, workflow orchestration, automation), how it's different from RevOps, why the real version commands "panic pricing," and the exact 4-Year Plan to go from absorbing one tool to $200/hour consulting ($416K annualized).

I've spent 18 years placing tech professionals, and this is the clearest filter I've found for spotting the real GTM Engineer roles from the rebrands.

What we cover

✅ What a GTM Engineer actually is (vs RevOps)

✅ The two job postings: "The Real One" ($230K) vs "The Rebrand"

✅ Why the builder version pays so much — market gap + tiny supply

✅ The 4-Year Plan: Absorb → Specialize → Monetize → Decide

✅ Counterpart Networking — who to actually talk to to get hired

✅ The Filter: 3 signals that separate real roles from rebrands

QA jobs and AI testing are colliding — and most QA testers have no idea how fast the role is changing. In this episode, Road to QA founder Jennifer Gaddis breaks down whether AI is replacing QA engineer jobs, the new skillset that separates a $120K+ AI QA Engineer from a $70K manual tester, and how she stacked multiple QA roles to collect $400K in a single year.

We cover QA automation, test automation with Playwright vs Selenium, AI-assisted testing tools, how to test AI applications (LLMs, agents, RAG), and the exact upskilling roadmap to go from manual QA to a six-figure AI-first QA engineer.

🎯 What you'll learn:

✅ Is AI really replacing QA testers? (the honest answer)

✅ The "become the QA team" skillset: front-end, back-end, middleware, automation

✅ How to test AI apps — LLMs, agentic AI, and the tools that matter

✅ The salary jump: why automation + AI skills mean $120K vs $80K

✅ How to position a manual QA background into a higher-paying offer

Integration Developer roles using MuleSoft, Informatica, and Boomi are quietly paying $150K–$200K+ — and almost nobody is talking about them. In this breakdown I cover MuleSoft developer salaries, Salesforce MuleSoft demand, ETL and data integration career paths, and the one skill-stack that adds $40,000 a year.

Most people chase AI engineering and trendy startups while these "boring" iPaaS and data integration platforms run the backbone of every Fortune 100 company — Pharma, banking, insurance, healthcare, and government. The talent supply is thin, the footprint is massive, and the rates reflect it.

Here's what I break down:

✅ MuleSoft vs Informatica vs Boomi — which platform is the safest bet

✅ Why pure platform skills cap at ~$75/hr — and how stacking a second specialty (EDI, Terraform, SQL, Git, Jenkins, DB2) pushes you to $90–$94/hr

✅ The $40K/year gap between a generalist and a specialist

✅ The 4-year career plan: Absorb → Specialize → Monetize → Decide

✅ Why AI makes integration developers MORE valuable, not obsolete (the tribal knowledge problem)

✅ In-house vs consulting paths to mid-six figuresIf you're a data engineer, ETL developer, backend engineer, or career-changer looking for a high-paying tech job without chasing the hype, this is your blueprint.

They keep talking about SOC analysts and pen testers. Nobody talks about IAM — and that's exactly why you should.

Steve London has been hiring, building, and leading Identity & Access Management teams for years. In this conversation, he pulls back the curtain on the one cybersecurity discipline that's gone from overlooked to absolutely critical — and explains exactly how to get in, even if you have zero IAM experience today.

👤 Guest: Steve London — Director of IAM | Cybersecurity Leader | Industry Veteran

Steve has hired IAM professionals across enterprise environments in healthcare and financial services. He's seen thousands of resumes, run hundreds of interviews, and built IAM programs from the ground up. He's the kind of person you rarely get access to — and he held nothing back.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-london-cissp/

💡 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

- What IAM engineers actually do day-to-day (it's not what most people think)

- Why "identity is the new perimeter" and what that really means for your career

- The honest career ladder: analyst → engineer → architect → director → consultant

- SailPoint vs Savant vs CyberArk vs Okta — which platform to focus on in 2026

- What Steve actually looks for on a resume (hint: it's not your CISSP)

- The two interview questions he uses to stress-test every candidate

- How AI is disrupting IAM — deepfakes, ghost employees, and agent access risks

- Why a PhD on your resume might actually be hurting your chances

- What it takes to go from manager to director in cybersecurity

🧠 Key Discussion Points:

✅ IAM is broader than ever — it now pulls in security ops, risk management, and architecture skills

✅ Most IAM professionals fell into the field from somewhere else — AD admins, trainers, SOC analysts

✅ Attitude + aptitude beats certifications. Steve hires for willingness to learn above all else

✅ The #1 breach vector is still credential compromise through phishing — IAM is the last line of defense

✅ AI tools like autonomous agents are creating entirely new IAM risks organizations aren't ready for

✅ SailPoint and Savant are currently neck-and-neck as the dominant platforms — know both

✅ The consulting path in IAM is underrated and highly lucrative for specialists
