When I was on my tech journey this was a podcast I would listen to. The stories that were shared by people who broke into tech with non-traditional backgrounds just encouraged me to keep going & now that I’m in tech I hope my story can encourage others to keep going 💪🏽!

If you make $45K–$100K, maximize the tax breaks available to you:

– Roth IRA
– HSA investing reduces your taxable income
– 401(k) investing reduces your taxable income
– Saver’s Credit – 0% capital gains bracket
– FSA/childcare tax credits

This is your wealth foundation

I never make slides by hand anymore. I have my agent do it for me. (And no, it doesn't look ugly or super generic). I recently added @EntireHQ as a new tool to my workflow, and it's the icing on the cake 🤌

Wrote a blog post about how I do it:

You can reinvent yourself all day, but if people don’t understand your value, your skills stay invisible.

A strong pivot requires:
• clarity
• credibility
• storytelling
• strategic positioning

Don’t just pivot. Position yourself for the opportunity you want.

[Vonn @itsthewealth4me]

Don’t let I’ll do it tomorrow turn into 5 years

Time doesn’t owe you anything and neither does opportunity

Get aligned and stop taking time, and good health for granted

[Kanika Tolver @KanikaTolver]

Developed six figure skills on my own, made sure my resume described my skills in a six figure manner, read enterprise level tech books, built a success squad of six figure peers and mentors, created a six figure personal brand just by leveraging LinkedIn. Asked my manager for more complex tasks and led projects. And obtained a few certifications that aligned with six figure roles.

As an engineer, you still need to prep for your Values / soft skills interview.

I sometimes hear people say things like “that interview is whatever” or “I don’t need to do anything for that one”, but the company wouldn’t have it as an interview if it didn’t matter.

If I ask you to tell me about a time when you helped a teammate, gave positive feedback, learned something new, or resolved some type of misalignment within your team and you can’t think of an answer or give some shabby BS answer, that’s a bad signal to me as the hiring manager.

These questions can catch you flat footed if you haven’t prepared, but they’re a breeze if you’ve spent some time reflecting on 4-6 instances in your career that really signal the type of engineer you are.

Once you have those instances, they’re usually pretty easy to plug and play into various interview questions as long as the examples are diverse enough.

Career fairs still work. The value isn't the companies. It's getting in front of a human being and making a real impression before anyone else does.

DevOps Engineer keeps showing up on lists of highest paying and most in demand roles in tech and people still treat it like it is out of reach. In 2026 it is more accessible than it has ever been if you know what to actually focus on and stop trying to learn everything at once.

[Chioma Amadi @Chioma__Amadi]

Companies are hiring remotely in 2026 and paying $80K–$200K+.
Most people don’t know where to look.

If you’re currently job hunting, here are the highest-demand remote jobs right now & exactly where to find them:

Don’t let being unhappy with your life this year, turn into how you feel about your life forever

You have the power to change it and should

[Vonn @itsthewealth4me]

Don’t limit yourself

You are the CEO of your life, make the best moves within your capabilities and don’t allow yourself to miss your opportunities

[Symoné B. Beez @SymoneBeez]

Take your tech money and invest it to build wealth.

Max out 401k
Backdoor Roth/Mega backdoor Roth
Real Estate

You can't lose.

[Vonn @itsthewealth4me]

I want to see more BW entering careers like Radiologic Techs, Dental Hygienists, Surgical Techs, Engineers, Dental Assistants, Sonographers, Data Analysts, Respiratory Therapists, and Electricians

Time to focus more on ownership and buying power via higher incomes

[Symoné B. Beez @SymoneBeez]

If you are a Software Engineer pivot to Cyber Software Engineering, Embedded Software Engineering, or FPGA Engineering.

[Symoné B. Beez @SymoneBeez]

I believe that AI Security is the best opportunity career wise and business wise right now and probably the foreseeable future.

[Mel ⚡️ @melTechFlow]

If I wanted to get into the tech field right now, specifically infrastructure then I would learn networking and get some Palo Alto Firewalls certs.

[Symoné B. Beez @SymoneBeez]

As an employee it is your job to stay on top of how good your company is doing and how good your business unit is doing.

If you aren’t doing this you are blindly working in a false sense of job security.
