Lots of gems! 1 key tip - drop the ego, banish the fear and reach out. Such a useful and practical tip Been stunned in the past reaching out to globally respected fund managers and leaders and getting a great response. I find that it works best if I dont make any requests. Another great practical tip - tell your story. Share what you are doing! A great book that helped me learn to do this better is "Show your work" by Austin Kleon Thanks guys for sharing these stories and experiences.

I don’t think the tech sector in the U.K. will ever have a full quota of skilled people, unless there is a fundamental change that gets young people interested in a career in the industry. I have been working in the sector for over 30 years - in the field of software engineering. When I joined the industry over 30 years ago, there was a shortage of highly skilled engineers, now I’m getting ready to leave the industry, there is still a shortage of skilled engineers. Although that fact has been good for me (I’ve been able to earn really good money) it’s not been good for the country - we need to fix this, if we are going to be competitive in the tech sector going forward.

Completely agree, it's a shame it hasn't changed much in your 30 years in the industry! I feel like we need to get to a point where it's mandatory to learn a "tech" subject like it's mandatory to learn english and maths in school (not sure if this has been implemented across the board). Funny thing is I do remember studying technology in the early years of secondary school but I didn't do it as a GCSE. We may also need to give out other incentives for people to study tech related degrees aside from the £10,000 mentioned by Hosanna and also encourage more apprenticeship. And finally we need to empower and enable people to be able to build and scale technology related businesses. In the UK the most valuable public businesses are oil companies, banks and big pharma. Tech is going to be so key to our future prospects in the UK.

Tech support can have high salaries especially if senior. Law firms & banking in particular pay just as high as cyber security roles I’ve seen.

Skill shortage nope, lots of people skilled but they can't get passed the many years of experience to get the job. It's hard in the uk unless you do a graduate programe.

If you don't have a degree you need to have projects to showcase your knowledge

Those questions they ask in interview into where do you think the business is going in 5 years is a tip for them. It's to give them ideas. It's sneaky and irrelevant for you at interview point.
@savvywalletАй бұрын
haha tbh I can see that happening, it's definitely great feedback for the companies but unethical in my opinion!

The bank I work for have 'dumped' a whole bunch of tech jobs over to India, where wages are much lower. The shareholders are happy but the staff are now getting crap service! I hear that in Mumbai and Chennai's business districts, there is a building belonging to every major investment bank in London/USA. There are still jobs, but less to go around.

Great interview. I'd be interested to know what certs you did in AI?
@savvywalletАй бұрын
Thank you for tuning in! Yeah of course I did the AI for Everyone by Deep Learning (Andrew Ng - he was cofounder and head of Google Brain and was the former Chief Scientist at Baidu) on Coursera. If you sign up via my link in the description, I may get a small commission and it supports the channel - thank you! Overall the course gives you a basic understanding of what AI is, how you build an AI project, building AI into your company and the implications of AI on society. It's a good starting point to get an understanding of AI. NOTE that the course is slightly outdated and predates Chatgpt, so don't expect any in-depth mention about Generative AI. The second one I did was AI for product management. This course talks about how product managers can incorporate AI into the product management lifecycle. Other AI courses i'm looking to do that are more long-term are: - Google - AI for everyone - IBM - Skills Network - Fundamentals of AI - IBM - AI Foundations for everyone - IBM - Applied AI Professional Certificate - University of London - Machine learning for all There's probably many more out there, as the content is constantly updated. What I did to help me out was split the courses into three time buckets: courses that would take anywhere between 2 - 8 hours, 9 - 40 hours and 41 hours to months. Hope this helps

@@savvywallet Thanks man. Much appreciated. I'm from an IT background. The landscape is constantly changing and sometimes it's difficult to tell where it's heading. I've done quite a a few courses on tech in the past and some of those things are no longer relevant!
@savvywalletАй бұрын
Yeah it is and it can be unsettling at times…AI is going through so much change because of the investment in it. Other areas I’ve considered are cybersecurity as Hosanna mentioned and data analysis

If you're new to podcasting, I would suggest first renting out a studio where ever you're based first, to get familiar with podcasting and to see if you really like it. Renting out initially isn't that expensive. Once your podcast is established thats when I would start to look to build your own studio. By that time you will be familiar with the process, you will see the equipment that studios use (camera's, mics, lighting etc) and you'll have built some connections in this area too. Hope that helps! Alternatively if you're really set on building your own studio I would reach out to any studios you like the setup of and just ask them questions
