Super excited for you! Had lots of friends looking to get into tech and I'm glad there's a book out there now aimed at people like that. I'm also super interested in how, as a white man in tech, I can help improve diversity and help underrepresented people be successful! My copy is on it's way! Congrats @abadesi proud and excited for you and your work! 🤩

@ninacali4 Thanks! They say your culture is defined by your first ten hires so when hiring for startups its important to get it right. The most critical point I could share is to be mindful of inclusion from Day One. It's easy to recruit from within our networks but this could limit the long term success and innovation within the company. Resist the urge to take the path of least resistance and put maximum effort into hiring the best candidates from all types of backgrounds. In my experience it's the people who've experienced setbacks in life and bounced back who perform best in the unpredictable world of startups.
This is really an interesting book. Thank you

I am honestly so happy I bought this book! As someone very confused with what I wanted to do in life, Dream Big, Hustle Hard has helped give me some sort of focus and direction. From uni advice to how to negotiate your salary, there's something useful in this book for everyone. If you are a student you'll definitely benefit a lot from it. If you are an adult looking to transition into tech, it's a worthwhile read. Either way, this was money well spent!!

Pros:

very useful and relevant to me, insightful, and I love the activities at the end of each chapter

Cons:

none

Abiola

Really helpful in a world where there's a lot of messages and not much career clarity

Pros:

Absolutely love Aba's clear, direct and structured approach.

Cons:

Can't get enough!
