Developer careers are tough…

…and few know the secrets to land top jobs.

Why isn’t talent enough?

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,
communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate the best rate, and unite
teammates in working toward a common goal.

Nobody teaches these soft skills.

This guide contains strategies for everyone from Entry-Level to Senior Developers and gives
guidance for Brand New Developers as well.

You’ll learn how to:

• Find and Fill the Gaps in your Technical Knowledge
• Choose between Contract Work or a Salaried Position
• Which Should you Learn First - JavaScript, C#, Python, C++?
• Get a College Degree with Maximum Credibility and Minimum Debt
• Decide if a Coding Bootcamp is a Value or a Scam.
• Plus, much more…

This book will take you inside the recruiting industry. What that "friendly" recruiter really wants
from you, how they get paid, and how to avoid getting pigeonholed into a job you'll hate.

It will change your career.

You’ll love this insider’s manual to success, because the difference between the MVPs and the
code monkeys is knowing how to manage the skills nobody mentions.

Technical Knowledge Alone Isn't Enough - Increase Your 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.

As John invested in these skills his career took off, and he became a highly paid, highly sought-after developer and consultant.

Today John helps more than 1.4 million programmers every year to increase their income by developing this unique blend of skills.

"If you're a developer, green or a veteran, you owe it to yourself to read The Complete Software Developers Career Guide." - Jason Down, Platform Developer, Ontario, Canada
