VIdeo Description:

Welcome back to the Tech Woke Podcast, the show where we break down the real pathways into tech careers, cybersecurity, and the strategies people use to build success in the industry.

In this episode, I sit down with Dino Anagbogu, founder, program manager, and technical recruiter, who shares his unconventional journey from the sales floors of Chicago to working inside the fast moving tech ecosystem of Silicon Valley.

We talk about what it really takes to break into tech, the risks behind leaving stable jobs for new opportunities, and why betting on yourself can completely change your career trajectory.

Dino also pulls back the curtain on the recruiting process for tech jobs, explaining the realities behind hiring decisions, the competition in today’s market, and what candidates must do to stand out. We also discuss the power of storytelling in interviews, building relationships with recruiters, and how saying yes to the right opportunities can open doors you never expected.

If you are trying to land your first tech job, transition into cybersecurity, or understand how recruiters actually think, this conversation is packed with real insight you do not want to miss.
