I’m rejecting the career ladder metaphor in favor of the career river. Here’s why:
1. The ultimate goal of the career ladder is: reach the top.
The ultimate goal of the career river is: reach your ocean - a thriving, wide-open ecosystem fed by other rivers to explore. /
2. When you reach an obstacle or ceiling on the career ladder: your only option is to shatter it.
When your career river encounters an obstacle: you can go around it, over it, or carve through it. /
