Misleading title
The title of this book is misleading. I expected that this book would discuss career opportunities for technical people in various industries like biotech, the film industry, etc. It does not. This book is more of a guide of how to get a job in technology, how to negotiate, etc. than anything else.

Excellent book!
Having read all of Debra Benton's books, and also working in the technology field, I was interested to read what she'd have to say about this field currently mired in gloom and doom. Unlike some of her other books, which reiterate and build upon the principles outlined in "How to Think Like a CEO" and "Lions Don't Need to Roar" -- both great books, btw -- this book focuses more on new material for how a person can be successful with a technology-related position starting today and looking into the future.From the opening of the book, there isn't even a specter of gloom and doom about the future of technology. Rather, Debra has opened up a gleam of light about how technology is still a viable career choice, and how a person can leverage their technical training and experience in both technical and some not-so-technical fields.
Highly recommended reading!
