Honestly, I think YouTube is great at diving into the specs of tech. You only need to understand what a tech person does, the requirements of their job, including languages they need to know and certificates if anything. It would also help to understand how THEY network.

Really depend on what area of tech.

Angel list is pretty good, yes there are girhubs there but honestly LinkedIn is your best bet. And start posting more on LinkedIn in to get their attention so they'll follow you

Social Talent has some good training and tools for tech recruiting. I'd recommend it for tactical training. LI Learning also has some good videos, more strategy and less tactical.

I second that suggestion for YouTube, but also some really great books suggestions I have and enjoy are:

Technology Made Simple for the Technical Recruiter

Full Stack Recruiter

How to Speak Tech: The Non-Techie’s Guide to Key Technology Concepts

The last one I enjoy because it's from the perspective of a start up company and who is doing what, but broadly understandable for anyone not just recruiters. It's a book just meant to shed light on tech roles within SaaS companies.

Really depends on what kind of tech, and how deep you want to go.

I've taken some coding programs that were entry level. It's helped me understand quite a bit

So this might be quite in depth but I’ve taken the Harvard edX Computer Science course and it’s been a MASSIVE help. I highly recommend it to any tech recruiter. Otherwise, I used to attend any meet-up/conference that our tech team was speaking at and listening to all their presentations has helped a lot!

I work in FP&A consolidations at a large sell side bank. I moved internally after working in the planning group of a Working Capital Solutions business. I often feel like I would enjoy client facing or advisory work because it would help me build a skill that could translate to me potentially running my own advisory firm one day… I feel my role just looks at numbers on a page which doesn’t help me develop translatable subject matter skills or expertise. I don’t want to be a robot. Any advice?

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
