About this title

Synopsis

Discover the secrets for thriving in a world being swept by automation! The rapid growth of technology and automation has changed the way we seek our work and find fulfillment—money, meaning and freedom. Those who don’t adapt are being trapped in the downward spiral of career stagnation, working harder and earning less, or losing their jobs altogether. People who understood how to win out over intelligent machines have found their dream jobs and career fulfillment. In this book you’ll learn: — Why your job is more at risk than you think. — Why being productive at your workplace does not help you succeed, and what you can do about it. — Why today’s capitalistic industry structure is going to get rid of most of the traditional jobs. — How to win the race against the intelligent machines that are taking our jobs. — How the Big 3 Technologies are opening up millions of dream jobs. — Why you are not an outsider to this party and how you can find your dream job in these emerging technologies, irrespective of your current job and experience. — The proven step-by-step method through which you can find your career fulfillment—more money, more meaning, and more freedom. Who should read this book? Technology professionals in their 20s & 30s: Are you wondering why you are not able to grow your career as much as you thought you could?

In chapter 8, you’ll learn how to find your dream job in any fast-growing technology company or any traditional company that exploits the Big 3 Technologies.
