Synopsis:

A tech-oriented career guide, 'Women in Tech' alternates teaching career skills with inspiring personal stories from successful women in tech. Written by a female start-up CEO (along with a host of other successful contributors, including digital technology consultant and angel investor Esther Dyson, elite hacker Keren Elazari, Women 2.0 founder Angie Chang and feminist gamer Brianna Wu), this book dismantles the unconscious social bias that tells us women aren't a good fit for tech. Geared toward women who are considering getting into tech, or women already in tech who want to take their career to the next level, this book intersperses practical tech-focused career advice from the primary author, along with inspiring personal stories from high-achieving women who have overcome obstacles and succeeded in tech by doing what they love. Readers will learn: the best format for tech resumes; how to ace a tech interview; the secrets of salary negotiation; the perks of both contracting (W-9) and salaried full-time work; the secrets of mentorship; and how to start your own company.
