FAQs
How can I break into top tech?
First I'd ask yourself - why you care about getting into top tech so much. The company brand doesn't matter as much as what you're really doing day to day. I always encourage my clients and others to ask themselves why it's important to them to work at a big company. Once you figure that out you'll probably realize that you want something else - stability, money status or something else altogether. If you're having trouble working through this we can work through this in a
coaching session. You can also read about my journey into top tech
in my blog.
