Work It

Carrie Kerpen Β· 2018
76/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Carrie Kerpen breaks from generic career-book wisdom by actually talking about salary, fundraising, and money alongside softer topics like superpowers and office politics β€” and the fifty contributors keep the advice grounded in real experience rather than theory. It skews toward marketing and corporate environments, so readers in unrelated fields will find less to grab onto. Still a practical, honest career guide that earns its place on the shelf.
