IT Job Switch Playbook with Hanumant Raut | BI Career & Qlik Mentor

Most experienced developers don't struggle to switch because they lack skills. They struggle because the market can't see what they're good at.

This playbook is built from Real job switches: my own moves across services and product companies over 11+ years in BI and analytics, plus anonymised switches from colleagues. It shows you how to position yourself, get referred, clear interviews and negotiate an offer that reflects your real value.

What's inside:

1. How IT hiring has changed, and what still matters (India-based and global remote roles)
2. The eight bottlenecks that stall experienced developers, with a self-diagnosis
3. Resume and LinkedIn positioning, including a full sample resume and a sample LinkedIn About section
4. Networking and referrals without awkwardness, with ready-to-use message scripts
5. Interview preparation for technical, scenario and managerial rounds
6. Negotiation and counter-offers, with a worked example and a decision flowchart
7. India-specific realities: 90-day notice periods, buyouts, offer drop-outs and background verification
8. Four real switch stories, including a services-to-client-payroll conversion and a 40–70% hike after repositioning

You also get:

1. A Word resume template, ATS-friendly and pre-structured for impact bullets
2. An Excel offer comparison calculator that shows the true value of each offer, not just the headline CTC
3. Fillable worksheets for your STAR stories, offer comparison and switch checklist

Who it's for:

1. Software, BI and data professionals with 5+ years of experience
2. Anyone stuck at the same CTC, or switching from services to product companies or global roles
3. Developers who want practical steps, not motivation

Every claim in the book is labelled: personal experience, anecdotal field stories, market patterns, or forward-looking opinion. You'll always know how much weight to give each one.

Format: PDF (60 pages) + DOCX + XLSX. Instant download.
