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.
