Is it time to become a manager? Nest and vest? Join that start-up? Tell your boss he's a jerk? Resign in disgust? As a software engineer, at some point you realize that there's much more to your career than dealing with code. Author Michael Lopp recalls his own make-or-break moments with Silicon Valley giants such as Apple, Borland, Netscape, and Symantec in Being Geek -- the insightful and entertaining book that may help you make better decisions about your career.

Through a series of entertaining stories, Lopp walks through a complete job lifecycle, starting with the job search and finishing with the realization it might be time to look again. Plenty of books teach you how to interview for a job, or how to manage a project successfully, but only this book will help you handle many of the baffling circumstances you may encounter in your career.

• Understand your boss with the chapter on "Manager Management"
• Boost your career through networking with "We Travel in Tribes"
• Deliver effective presentations, with "How Not to Throw Up"
• Manage and actively participate in meetings, with "What's On the Agenda?"
• Realize when you should be looking for a new gig, with "The Itch"
