LOL. I published a book through Wiley about 8 years ago. I got an advance which I did earn back, and I'm still earning a small bit on sales every year. Reputational? The only time it's ever come up was when I was interviewing for the job I have now and one of the interviewers asked, "oh, I notice you wrote a book about SSL. Do you know stuff besides SSL though?"
- outworlder 9y agoDid you continue the interview? That is a pretty big red flag for that interviewer.
- commandlinefan 9y agoOh, actually I continued the interview, took the job, and work there now. They just didn't (and still don't) care much about my knowledge of SSL.
