Tech Careers Hotline

Tech Council of Australia

Tech Careers Hotline is a podcast for anyone curious about a career in tech, from students choosing their path to mid-career professionals thinking about a career change into tech.

Each episode, host Adair Robins puts real questions from students and professionals directly to leaders across Australia’s tech industry. They share the unfiltered truth about how they built their careers: the turning points, the setbacks, the skills that mattered, and what they wish they’d known earlier.

You’ll hear from founders, executives and technical leaders at companies including Google, Culture Amp and CyberCX, many of them women who have built standout careers in tech. You don’t need a technical background to get value from these conversations. Many guests didn’t have one either.

Tech Careers Hotline is produced by the Tech Council of Australia, the peak industry body for Australia’s tech sector.
