I have read business/career books in the past. This is an easy-quick read. There are "coaching tips", which are very valuable and beneficial to the reader or aspiring career-minded person.
There are key topics like "overcoming gender bias", "unique minority of one", and when to relocate for a job. Not to let anyone distract you from your goals, passions, and aspirations.

How can I become more strategic about developing a satisfying and financially rewarding career path? What am I already doing right and what might I start doing or learning? After reading this book, I'm developing my answers to these questions. Mr. Wyche's book in informative and encouraging. He identifies externally and internally imposed challenges and offers suggestions for how to work through those challenges.
This book is like having a mentor in a book. The advice is useful. But I did more skimming than I think I should have. Maybe it is because this book addresses sales people moving up in corporations and that's not my area. But you write what you know and that's what the author did.
