Preface
Software development industry will continue to dominate the world. Powered by high-speed internet, computing hardware and modern software stacks like 3D printing, IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Augmented Reality, etc, it will continue to offer the most lucrative and high-growth career opportunities.
Our goal behind this Tech Career Guide is to help you with the strategies, tools, and actions you can use for becoming a complete software developer. Here is why:
One, This guide combines proven strategies and guided methods to help you develop a concrete understanding of building a meaningful career. You will find the most credible, authentic, and proven techniques which people have used to succeed in their career.
Second, I have pursued a successful career myself following the ideas and methods provided in the guide— starting as a software developer in 1992, becoming CIO of Sony Music in 1998, working as a CEO and Head of Digital Business at Zee Entertainment, and finally, become entrepreneurs in 2010 to start and run my own business.
And third, since the past 5 years, I have interacted with over 25,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students through my workshops and training to guide them to build a better career. These interactions made me feel strongly about the need of a guide which can provide motivation, strategies, tactics, and perspective that can guide you to learn, build, launch and grow their career to leverage their geniuses and live a happier, healthier and meaningful life.
