Jotham Stein is a Silicon Valley employment lawyer who represents entrepreneurs, C-Suite executives, board members, and senior managers, as well as less senior employees at companies of every size and type. In Even CEOs Get Fired, Jotham walks readers through the best practices, common pitfalls, and sky's-the-limit possibilities in the various stages of a career - from getting hired, to surviving an employer's changes in control, to a voluntarily exit... to getting fired.

Each chapter focuses on a particular issue, mixing straightforward actionable advice with engaging fictional stories, based on real-life scenarios Jotham has seen in his practice. Readers starting out in their careers, or considering jumping into entrepreneurship, will learn how to negotiate like a CEO, regardless of their position. Those already in the C-Suite will appreciate his explanation of which documents and clauses really matter in complex employment agreements, and how to maximize your leverage by focusing on the bottom line.

Even CEOs Get Fired is the ultimate guide to talking money, an essential tool for anyone moving up in business.
