Editorial Reviews

Review

"Being in a tech company, whether new or seasoned, can feel lonely. School doesn't prepare you for how to influence smart technical people, manage your career, or operate complex systems. Merih has been extremely honest and generous in sharing his journey, his own imposter syndrome, his own wins and losses, making the lonely journey in tech more bearable and even enjoyable. Through numerous real examples, get some insight into how the system works, without having to figure it out on your own."

-Ibrahim Abdul Rahim (Senior Engineering Manager @ Salesforce, Previously Microsoft)
