Recommendation

This youth-oriented self-help guide will appeal to anyone considering a career in tech – especially those just launching their careers, and, of course, women of color. As technical specialist Susanne Tedrick explains in the opening and concluding chapters, the “standard career advice” genre doesn’t speak to the experiences of women like her. Nevertheless, the bulk of the book does the service of focusing on contemporary skills-building and job-seeking advice applicable to all women – and men too – at the start of their careers.

Take-Aways

  • Tech careers offer enormous rewards, but also challenges – especially for women of color.
  • Consider the wide range of dynamic, well-paying jobs in the tech field.
  • Most industries demand tech professionals – from banking to media, health care to government.
