Description
You do not need to be technical. You just need this book.
Most people rule themselves out of tech before anyone explains what working in tech actually looks like.
This book exists to change that.
Getting Into Tech (Without Starting Over) is a practical, honest guide to the tech industry for anyone who has ever thought it was not for them. Not because they looked into it and decided it was the wrong fit, but because nobody ever showed them the door.
Tech is bigger than most people realise. It is full of roles that have nothing to do with writing code, and it needs people who can think, connect, communicate, solve problems, stay curious and understand how organisations work. That might already be you.
Inside the book, you will find:
- The truth about what a career in tech actually involves, including the roles, the reality and the parts nobody tells you
- A clear breakdown of different areas of tech, so you can see where your existing skills and experience might fit
- Honest information about what you can earn, what you actually need to learn and how to start positioning yourself
- A quiz to help you understand what kind of tech professional you might be, with six profiles
- Clarity on the questions that hold people back, including degrees, age, timelines, coding and rejection
- A jargon glossary, resources section and practical exercises throughout
No gatekeeping. No confusing jargon. No assumption that you are starting from zero.
Written by Holly Rae CMgr MCMI, who has spent over 20 years building a career in technology, from technical support through to senior leadership, this is the book she wishes had existed when she was trying to make sense of it all.
By the end, you will not just know that tech is possible for you. You will have a clearer picture of where you fit, what you already bring and what your next step could look like.
