Ask HN: How do you do career planning?
6 by vuxel | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I'm 24, software engineer at a huge company that has roles for doing everything. They have a culture of holding career conversations, and give their people a shot at identifying and fixing what they want to do. I am due to go through this process soon, and I am really interested in advice on how others have handled their career planning. I personally don't like the idea of breaking my role into the Level I, II, III ladder, and I don't want to bind my professional life to that scale. I feel motivated towards understanding the business side of things, but I lack any background that would help me there. I want to have an educated roadmap (even if I don't follow it to script), and I would really appreciate advice on going about it. Thanks!
