The tech job market in 2026 is brutal. Entry-level postings dropped 73%. The average search takes six months. AI screens your resume before a human ever sees it.

This book was written by someone who hires engineers — and who sees both sides of the table every day.

No motivational fluff. No recycled advice from 2020. Just the strategies that actually work in today's market:

- What companies really want now (hint: it's not just LeetCode)

- The skills stack that gets you hired: Tier 1 must-haves, Tier 2 differentiators, Tier 3 future-proof

- Building a portfolio that proves you can ship — not another todo app

- Your resume in the age of AI screening: what gets through filters and what doesn't

- LinkedIn optimization and online presence that attracts recruiters

- Learning AI tools even if you're not an AI developer — the new table stakes

- Where to find jobs that aren't on job boards: the hidden market

- The 20-application method: quality over quantity

- Technical interviews in 2026: system design is king, LeetCode is fading

- Behavioral interviews: STAR method and AI collaboration stories

- Negotiating your offer with real salary data by role and level

- Your first 90 days: onboarding strategy and quick wins

- Long-term career paths: IC vs management, specialization vs generalist

14 chapters. Every paragraph is actionable. Written for juniors, career changers, bootcamp grads, and experienced developers looking for their next role.

The market is harder than ever. Your strategy needs to be smarter than ever. This book is that strategy.
