Breaking Into Tech: Untold Stories, Struggles & Surprises | Akhil

Everyone wants to get into Tech. Everyone talks about AI, Data Science, Software Engineering, high-paying packages and working at top product-based companies. But how much of it is actually true? Is the tech industry really as glamorous as LinkedIn makes it look? Is AI creating opportunities or threatening existing jobs? How difficult is it to break into the industry? And what happens beyond the fancy job titles and salary packages? In this episode, I bring together people working across the Tech and AI ecosystem to have an honest, unfiltered conversation about their experiences, career journeys, struggles and lessons.
