From $1200 a month to $200k a year Splunk Architect

Curious about the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of transitioning into the tech industry? Our special guest, Marquis, is here to share his refreshingly honest and often hilarious journey from Asteri to his role as an infrastructure engineer. His story, filled with pitfalls, successes and a whole lot of perseverance, is both an eye-opening exploration of the tech industry and an inspirational tale of resilience.

Marquis takes us through his experience, from his early days as a QA tester at Asteri to the importance of quality management in career growth. But it's not all tech talk. He charmingly debates on who qualifies as a '90s baby' versus a 'Gen Z 90s kid', and adds a sprinkle of laughter with a light-hearted tale about his cousin's first day at Woodlawn High School. We also touch on serious topics like his sudden layoff, the subsequent job hunting process amidst a pandemic, and his strategies to navigate these challenges.

Finally, we dive into the necessity of constant learning in the tech industry. Marquis provides valuable insights into his unique approach to skill acquisition, emphasizing the importance of self-investment. He takes us through his journey of learning Splunk architecture, and staying updated with industry trends. Beyond the professional realm, he also shares his personal growth, contrasting his lifestyle and energy levels before and after moving from his hometown. As a bonus, we end by sharing how you can connect with Marquis on social media and join his tech community. So buckle up for a fun, enlightening, and gripping conversation that you'll remember long after.
