Do you need practical career guidance to help you negotiate total compensation increases, define your goals, improve your confidence, and grow your net worth? I will teach you to think beyond the single income aspect of reaching the six-figure salaries in tech. Success stories include:• A STEM professor negotiated a six figure recruitment bonus• A Sr. Security Engineer secured an $81,000 pay increase• A Security Analyst received a promotion to Engineer with a 60% salary increase• A newly divorced mom started approaching CISOs about changing her career to tech and one of the companies CREATED A ROLE FOR HER!• A Threat Analyst negotiated a 15% pay increase, 37% higher RSUs (restricted stock units) than allowed for new hires, and guaranteed PTO for teaching security courses outside of workThey were able to do this by applying the lessons in this guide. It covers interview prep strategies, positioning yourself for raises, difficult performance review conversations, developing SMART tech goals, how to get comfortable regularly communicating your accomplishments, how to fire bad bosses, and much more.If you've been looking for a straight-forward career guide to make you laugh, cry, and level up, this is the book for you!
