It makes sense. The subject here is not about career progression. Its about employment attainment.

both are related though… a lot of folk think that career progression as SWE must follow a path of “work something couple of years, then go elsewhere to get a much bigger salary bump than you would have gotten if stayed.” but you can also just stay and have a job for life pretty much if you become more valuable to the company than they are too you. this should be taught at Unis, it is the most important thing every SWE should strive for
> both are related though

When you see that phrase just think: cognitive conservatism. Then you can stop reading what follows.

It does not matter how far they are or are not subjectively related. One is the subject and the other is not.
