About this ebook

A software engineering career doesn’t follow a straight line. Every phase comes with its own challenges and mysteries. Missteps can cost engineers promotions, compensation, jobs, relationships, and more in their personal lives. Conversely, understanding opportunities can boost engineers’ income, title, career, experience, scope, and influence. Many engineers struggle to navigate pivotal moments upon encountering them for the first time. They go for trial and error. We wrote this book to eliminate such uncertainties and provide guidance through critical moments, such as the following:

- How to compare startups and large corporations

- How to evaluate offer letters

- When to switch teams or jobs

- How to turn conflicts to your advantage

- How to delegate or manage up

- How to ship projects in confidence

- How to untangle a chaotic project

- How to recover from a career downturn

- How to balance your workload

This book will help you embrace vital moments with clarity, transform challenges into opportunities, and accelerate your career journey confidently without burning yourself out.
