I wrote a post the other day about how to think about career trajectory/growth. In my experience people generally think about it wrong.
TL;DR: Don't think about your career as a ballistic trajectory, but more as a series of interplanetary missions.

- mosjeff 15y agoThanks for sharing. I really like your perspective (not to mention the analogy). Would you agree, though, that part of the problem is with company's views on their own employee's trajectories?
- cek 15y agoI was fortunate enough to work at one company for 21 years (MS) that supported this model. I suspect, given my personality, passions, and style, if MS had not supported me in this way I would have just done it across many companies. So, at my core, I believe it is up to the employee. If you are stuck, GET OUT.
