How to grow that first gig in tech into a successful career

  • Seek out new knowledge. Take courses, learn the language, and become friends with those who know things you don't.
  • Work with intelligent people. Seek out teams who are smarter than you and work with people you can learn the most from.
  • Align yourself to the quality of your product and the quality of your business outcomes.
  • Advocate for yourself and the career you want to build.
  • Find allies.

Be uncomfortable in situations where you don't understand what's happening around you and unreasonably convinced in your ability to learn.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
