  • Careers are hard.

    You feel something’s missing in yours.

    You just started your first job but it doesn’t feel “right”.

    Or you’ve been working for some time, and feel you aren’t growing.

    Or you’re thinking of a career change, after discovering new interests.

    Or you heard about the many layoffs in tech, and want to protect yourself.

    Careers are indeed hard. But you don’t have to navigate it alone.

    Introducing Before The Good Things Come, a collection of interviews with senior executives across the world on how you can advance your career.

    In this book, 25 executives share their take on 10 common questions you will face in your career, from landing new jobs and securing promotions, to managing office relationships and juggling side hustles with your full-time job.

    Whether you are starting off in your first job or have been in the workforce for some time, Before The Good Things Come helps you think differently, take action and make good things happen in your career ahead.
