Hello, I am a junior in a very large IT company, I noticed that the workplace is not really about producing a very high quality products or learning new technology or something like that, it is more about getting the best salary and manipulating max people to get in a hierarchy post. is this only specific to the company I work with or all the companies are like this ?

Should I have a PHD to be able to get to a similar job ?

I would like to know what could possibly be a good tech business in developing countries in Africa or in Latin America, could just copying Silicon valley's startups works there? thanks

Hey,

I'm a programmer, I'm read a wide range of book about technical knowledge, but I also realized that my lack of knowledge in other field are holding me from achieving my goals, skills like communication, social interactions, personal confident, emotional intelligence, ...are essential to succeed in our field.

My question is what books you recommend for a programmer to make a balance between his technical skill and other skills and how to use that to improve his position and his life in society and be more productive.
