IT Career Advice: Managing Your IT Career (video)
June 27, 2014
Videos from MinneBar 9 are posted including my “Managing Your IT Career v6 - (Why do recruiters suck so bad?)”.
We had a fun conversation and I only had one slide with a few bullet points I wanted to talk about:
- I have an affliction
- Why do recruiters suck
- Hot IT skills
- Jobs scene
- Economy
- Negotiate $5 an hour ($10K a year)
- LinkedIn – Friend and Foe
- No Ninjas
Besides my points we covered other topics including:
- Getting a first job in IT
- How to find cool companies to work for
- IT salary negotiation
