Just read a piece (https://md.ha.si/s/Q6tDzC2-5) on nonlinear careers, and it hits differently. The classic "ladder" feels outdated — people grow through projects, cross‑functional moves, temporary roles, experiments. That kind of trajectory gives more stability than a narrow vertical climb where one wrong step can shake everything.
I like the idea of treating a career like a modular system. You build it from skills, challenges, and roles that actually shape you — not just from titles. This approach makes you stronger, more adaptable, and less tied to a single position. Curious how many here have already tried moving sideways instead of chasing the next title.
