Course Descriptions
“I want to get all your certifications up to the highest level. Your book was instrumental and dare I say life changing. I read it cover to cover over a weekend before a salary negotiation with a tech startup. Your framework provided me with the tools necessary to get the salary and equity that I needed / wanted. And it was much easier than I thought. I almost felt like I was cheating using your framework. I think your course is worth $28,500. Your price is a bargain for what I will gain. I am ready to roll.” –L. A. Barnhart
