Not only is the cliché flawed - preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work - but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do.

Publisher's Summary
If you want to land a job in tech, you need to know how to code. That much is obvious. A skill that is equally as important - but often overlooked - is knowing how to market yourself to potential employers, especially if you're new to the industry. Do you know how to land interviews and deliver a compelling case for why you should be hired?
Bobby Davis Jr. has helped place hundreds of aspiring coders into high-paying tech jobs. In Breaking the Code, he shares the proven strategies he uses with his students and offers up insider tips that will make you stand out from the competition.
You'll learn how to avoid the biggest stumbling block when it comes to landing a job and what you should build before an interview if you don't have a project to show. Bobby also teaches you the secret to accessing jobs not found on corporate job boards and exponentially increasing your chances of getting the job you want. The path to $100,000 a year - and infinite possibilities beyond that - begins with Breaking the Code.

Essential Advice for the Aspiring Programmer
I'm a computer science student in my senior year, who has been working for 3 years as a software developer full-time. After listening to this book, I can see how I had made my journey harder than it needed to be.
It is very easy for the aspirant to get side-tracked into "trending" languages, libraries and stacks and to buy into myths about programmers and the software development industry.
This book offers an actionable plan for the aspiring programmer to focus on the right skills, begin working on their craft, and land a position to start their career.
While experienced programmers will already know most of what this book talks about, they would still appreciate the insights about the role recruiters play in helping developers land their next position. I had no idea of the importance of the relationship between a developer and a recruiter.
The content is not very long at all but what is there is full of substance. I heartily recommend this book.
Thank you Bobby Davis Jr, for putting together this sound advice.

Technical knowledge alone isn't enough - increase your software development income by leveling up your soft skills Early in his software developer career, John Sonmez discovered that technical knowledge alone isn't enough to break through to the next income level - developers need "soft skills" like the ability to learn new technologies just in time, communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate a fair hourly rate, and unite teammates and coworkers in working toward a common goal.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 28
Tens of millions of Americans owe a combined $1.5 trillion in debt for student loans. Much of this staggering expense has been unnecessary. Attending college is more of a tradition - a cultural rite of passage - than a necessary step toward a successful career, thus not justifying its steep cost. As countless entrepreneurs and creative hustlers have shown, there is a path to success outside of the institutions of so-called higher learning.

Google Executive Chairman and ex-CEO Eric Schmidt and former SVP of Products Jonathan Rosenberg came to Google over a decade ago as proven technology executives. At the time, the company was already well-known for doing things differently, reflecting the visionary - and frequently contrarian - principles of founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. If Eric and Jonathan were going to succeed, they realized they would have to relearn everything they thought they knew about management and business.

In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice. Not only is the cliché flawed - preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work - but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do.
