New Tech Candidates' Playbook

This playbook is not built on universal truths, but on real-world experience. With over a decade spent in the tech industry driving digital transformation, building partnerships, and reviewing thousands of candidates, the author has identified recurring patterns that can make or break a consultant's career. These insights are distilled here into a practical, flexible guide designed to help you navigate the consulting journey - from CV to interview to long-term career growth - with confidence. The book is aimed primarily at early-career consultants and career switchers seeking to break into tech consulting, but it also offers valuable advice for senior professionals and freelancers who want to sharpen their approach. The core idea is simple: this playbook is a compass, not a map. It is here to inspire, guide, and help you build your own path - not to dictate rigid rules.
