Same here, not in the tech industry but it is everywhere the same to a certain degree. Now, also ten and something years in, I try to push myself into the direction of NOT looking at the career ladder anymore. Shocking how haed that is actually. The thing I relized that is helping a lot is doing stuff that a) builds on my interests and experience and b) is a intellectual stretch. Otherwise I run the risk of being bored and running out of patience with the politics around me. Lucky me for now this working out okish to fine sometimes. Ah, and having colleagues that a fun to work with! |

I had the opposite thought. I never used to look at the career ladder, when recently I realized that I might need to, in order to get a more satisfying/challenging job.
I entertained that thought for a bit, but then realized that I enjoy my personal life and projects more, and that it would probably make me enjoy my work less if I were career-focused. Plus, I like my current team and job enough as it is, so it wouldn't be worth it. Now I just try to be mindful of doing things that will advance my career (basically being a valuable employee), but not at the expense of my personal life.
