When thinking about your career, you might have heard the terms career ladder and career lattice.
Both concepts help us understand how we can grow professionally, but they offer different paths to success.
Let’s explore what they mean in a friendly and simple way!
What is a Career Ladder?
A career ladder is the traditional way many people think about moving up at work.
Imagine climbing a ladder — each step takes you higher than the last. In this approach, you usually move straight up, from entry-level jobs to higher positions, like moving from assistant to manager, then director, and so on.
This path is clear and linear. It helps people focus on gaining the skills and experience needed for the next level up.
