Career Jungle Gym

It's not a career ladder, it's a jungle gym. If you think it's a ladder, you'll soon find your way blocked by those above. You'll often have to make daring leaps sideways in order to continue moving up in your career. Most people will very tightly hang on "their" rungs and complain that it's not an express escalator ride to the top. There's no right path upwards on the jungle gym, and so this book isn't some sort of recipe or template for you to follow. Instead, it's a selection of essays that you can read in any particular order, offering advice and anecdotes and observations about the modern workplace and issues faced by grown-ass, mid-career adults who are thoughtfully considering what they want to come next in their careers.
