Our mission is to uncover the secrets of a successful IT career. We interviewed hundreds of seasoned IT professionals to gather advice they wish they had at the start. From their insights, we created The Tech Career Playbook, a compact video course packed with essential wisdom, proven tricks, and shortcuts beyond code from industry experts.
Our course offers specialized knowledge tailored specifically to the IT industry. It's concise, focused, and free of generic content, providing you with essential insights and practical advice.
Each episode has a direct learning outcome including a handout with practical tips.
We teach experience, not theory. It's about avoiding stupid mistakes, not mastering every area.
Produced in the style of a late-night show. There's nothing wrong with having a good time while learning.
Your tempo: learn our video lessons whenever and wherever you want.
Just 15 minutes a day. Fits in every busy schedule.
No extra effort for you. Just lean back and enjoy the show.
The Tech Career Playbook includes areas such as self-organization, professional responsibility, communication, IT-processes, collaboration, mentoring, technical leadership and business acumen. We analyzed hundreds of interviews and identified recurring themes that go beyond mere patterns; they are definitive rules. These guidelines encapsulate the key areas where you should showcase your skills. We refer to them as "The 7 Rules Of IT Career Success", which are also the chapters of our course with more than 7 hours of video content.
