Breaking into tech: The struggles of landing that technical role as a minority

In this episode, I am joined by Joshua Encarnacion, Executive Coach, Talent & Growth Specialist, Former CEO of Outco , and current Head of Talent at Career Karma . Josh has spent his career building Technical Learning and Development Programs for the likes of Uber and Google and as such, has gained a unique insight into what it really means to “break into tech”. We go deep into the nuances of equity within the tech industry and how the tech scene continues to seem impenetrable if you’re on the outside. We get vulnerable and talk about how we’ve had to code-switch in our own careers and how we deal with our own identity struggles in the roles we play at work. As difficult as the topics are, we had a lot of fun and we hope you enjoy the episode! Find out more about Joshua’s work here . Check out Brotopia by Emily Chang.
