liken the career path to a business plan. Business set up their goals for the next 18-24 months and end up changing them as they move along due a number of external factors that are out of their control.
Career pathing is so different for each company that there’s no “SDLC”. My recommendation is to look at your company’s goals and map those goals into your current job and your next job. Get with your manager and set those tasks on paper. Tie your bonus dollars that year toward successful achievement of those goals.
Then look at positions or departments and why a move would make sense for you. You may choose never to move up but rather to move across the organization leveraging your current skills to build new skills. There’s no silver bullet for career pathing, just try to plot a sensible path that is achievable and make modifications as you learn more. Good luck.
