After decades of building a tech career, author Debbie Levitt is one of many people with questions, anxieties, and doubts. As a mentor and coach, the employed and unemployed often ask her, “What happened to tech jobs?” and “What will I do next?”
Life After Tech is your personal and proactive journey. Eighteen introspective exercises—plus templates and examples—make Life After Tech a guide and a workbook. Use the "Phoenix Flight Plan" to get grounded, plan, rise, and soar.
Debbie addresses common career change emotions and fears through sensitivity, critical thinking, humor, and vulnerability. She provides fresh advice and perspectives while avoiding the toxic positivity that plagues job struggles.
You are the phoenix. It's never too early to plan what you'll do when you're done with tech… or tech is done with you.

This topic is so stigmatized that Life After Tech is one of the first books–and possibly the first book–specifically about leaving technology jobs and careers.
Life After Tech is for everybody considering a career or work change:
- Struggling to find a tech job
- Can't transition into tech
- Job reduced or replaced by “tech”
- Those expecting to work many more years in tech but want to plan ahead or add non-tech work to their lives
- Non-tech workers
The Life After Tech Discord community, membership website, and other resources make Life After Tech more than a book. https://LifeAfterTech.info It's a support system that welcomes everybody no matter where they are on the ever-changing working in tech/not working in tech spectrum. You can also find the PDF, EPUB, and audiobook on our website.
©2024 Debbie Levitt (P)2024 Debbie LevittIt started off promising with a sense that this author has experienced the same Tech environments that I have and I sort of liked how the AI narrator was snarky about corporate life in a vindicating way...but then the book devolved a bit into a sales pitch for the author's camp stopover business.
While I think there were some useful nuggets compressed in between the setting of the scene and the sales pitch, I felt like the weighting of content for redefining yourself and discovering work opportunities was quite thin in relation to financial advice about budgeting and a lot of camping business references.
I understand the author was trying to couch some of her advice in personal experience but this falls a but flat when her own business is not proving particularly successful yet.
I think this could still be a valuable read if you sort of have a lot of ideas and are not sure if you should study and start a new career or go the entrepreneurial route or freelance, just to gain some perspective. But dont expect the book to give you ideas or flesh them out at all.
