Succeed In Software: A Comprehensive Guide To Software Career Excellence

Attention coders!


  • Are you earning less than $300,000 per year as a software engineer?


  • Have you been grinding away as a junior or mid-level developer for too long and the promotions aren't coming?


  • Have you recently completed a coding boot camp and now you're in the deep end with no clear direction on how to advance your career?


This book can help you master the skills necessary to stand out at the top of our field.


While you wait for your next annual review, you are helping to make your executive team rich while they pay you an entry-level salary and consider you nothing more than a replaceable cog in the machine.


Over the past 20 years working as a software professional, I have been collecting extremely valuable lessons that have helped me become one of the highest-paid, most reliable developers in my network. I no longer worry about money, I no longer work overtime, and instead of competing with my peers for promotions, I now have companies competing with each other for my time and skillset.


You don't need a college degree and you don't need to master a bunch of programming languages or become an expert at all the new libraries and frameworks to get where I am. That is a waste of time, and money, and all you are doing is helping other people realize their goals instead of realizing your own.


The career ladder is simply a game of profits and resources, and once you learn and understand how the people above you perceive value, and who your clients really are, you will soar past your colleagues.


If you don't want to spend years crawling your way to the top on your own like I did, working twice as hard as everybody else just to get noticed for promotions, then let me help you cut those years or even decades off that journey - it's time to take control of your software career and kick it into high gear right now.
