Thinking about a career in Big Tech, but not sure where to start? You’re not alone and now, you don’t have to figure it out alone either.

Our Big Tech 2.0 webinar is now available on-demand, and it's one you don’t want to miss. We sat down with Tiffany Pickles, EMEA Solutions Partner at Meta (formerly at Google and Amazon), for a no-fluff, high-impact conversation on what it really takes to land that first job in Big Tech — even if your background isn’t technical.

“You don’t need to start over. You just need to reframe what you already bring to the table.” – Tiffany Pickles

🔍 Why This Webinar Matters

In the world of Big Tech, competition is fierce and the path can feel confusing. Do you need to code? Should you network? Is your CV strong enough? What if you're coming from a different industry?

Tiffany has done it all, from starting out with internships at Amazon and Google, to converting her Google internship into a full-time role, and now leading global partnerships at Meta. In this webinar, she breaks it all down in the most accessible way possible.

🎙️ What You'll Learn

1. Why Your Background Does Belong in Tech

“The biggest misconception is that you can’t work in Big Tech without a tech or engineering background. That’s simply not true.”

Tiffany shares how business, marketing, and even social science grads can find their fit in tech, especially in roles like sales, partnerships, account management, and marketing strategy.

2. How to Position Yourself — Even as a Career Switcher

“If you’re switching careers, find a department that aligns with your past experience. That’s your bridge into Big Tech.”

From consulting to fashion to finance, Tiffany explains how candidates can map their previous work to client verticals and departments in tech companies — and why that’s often your smartest entry point.

3. Behind the Scenes: Internships, Referrals, and Interviews

“I had to apply to Google several times before I got an internship. Most people only see the tip of the iceberg.”

Tiffany gets candid about rejection, persistence, and how to approach interviews. She also offers a step-by-step breakdown of the referral process — and how to make it easier for someone to vouch for you.

“If you’re asking someone for a referral, make it easy. Send your CV, a quick elevator pitch, and the job link. Support the person who’s supporting you.”
