The WetFeet Insider Guide to Careers in Information Technology

Rating:
Summary: top-notch info and writing
Review: a job well done in terms of giving me a very detailed picture of the IT industry. well-written and well-balanced. i'm already in the IT industry but want to make a career switch from front-end development (been doing it for a year now) over to back-end development. of course, i'm talking to friends and colleagues and gathering their advice, but I thought it couldn't hurt to pick up this guide. in fact, it was really helpful. plus, it's always kinda hard to ask people about what they make, so the fact that this guide lays it out with job descriptions and salary ranges was very enlightening indeed.

Summary: Clear and Easy to Read
Review: I found this guide really helpful in clarifying the various sectors of the Information Technology industry. It was all laid out in a clear and organized way and was very easy to read. The information is broken up into easy-to-digest paragraphs with bold headings, so after an initial read, you can skim through pretty easily to review the main ideas. The writing was professional, without being stuffy and it was even funny at times. But most importantly, it was genuinely informative.

Summary: A Wealth of Info
Review: It's clear this guide was written by an expert. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth in that I had a few vague ideas on what job occupation was right for me, and now I know what specifically to pursue. I am now about to embark on classes in User Interface design and Java programming. With my new skills, I'm hoping to work my way into the IT department at my health care/insurance company.
