In this episode of TechBiz Talks, we sit down with Professor Laith Adi, who brings experience from the fields of machine learning, consulting, and now also teaching at Sheridan College, to discuss what it takes to build a career in tech.

Professor Adi shares practical advice on transitioning from student to professional, exploring post-secondary pathways, different master’s programs, and what various roles in tech and consulting actually involve. Drawing from his time across multiple fields, he helps clarify what each path looks like and how to figure out which direction suits you.

We cover the essentials for internship success—building meaningful side projects, networking effectively, and approaching LeetCode strategically. Professor Adi also breaks down how to handle technical and behavioral interviews, and shares what shaped his own journey through tech and into teaching.

If you’re preparing for internships or mapping out your career in tech, this TechBiz Talks episode offers the practical guidance to help you move forward.
