In this episode, I share some of the latest developments in my time coaching over 120 software professionals. One of the biggest things I've learned, is that practically everyone is miserable.

This year I have some exciting new announcements to make though - I'll be helping you escape the corporate grind! You CAN have a career in tech, but you have to step up, take more responsibility, and give up the delusion that corporate employment is a long-term strategy anymore. Those days sadly, are long behind us.
