The Unspoken Rules: Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right by Gorick Ng

informative medium-paced

2.0

Did a quick read of this. Some parts were helpful but others less so, coming very much across as “duh”.  Lots of prescriptive advice (along the lines of “here is exactly what you can ask / do / say”), which I’m ambivalent about. Practical insights but very commonsensical, so much so I got through this in a day. Nothing truly impactful that had me mulling over in introspection. Overall, it wasn’t for me since I’ve been exposed to other books in the genre that were more impactful. As an early career professional, I’d say it’s helpful if you are totally clueless about navigating the workplace, otherwise it packs less of a punch.
