Progress is not only upward.
Direct answer
A career ladder is a series of promotions upward. A career lattice allows sideways and diagonal moves to build skills and experience. Many careers combine both. Plan around skills and impact, not only job titles.
Planning your path
- Decide what you want to learn and do.
- Look at roles you admire and their skills.
- Find gaps.
- Seek projects that build them.
- Talk to your manager and mentors.
