Technical Professional
Scenario:
Career boost for the technical professional
Common job titles:
Engineers, engineering managers, and technical leaders
Description:
Engineering professionals often have career trajectories characterized by an early period of rapid growth, where promotions and significant salary increases are common due to a demonstrated mastery of the technology domain.
Around the 10-year mark, this type of professional may experience a mid-career plateau, where promotions come less frequently and salary increases are smaller. This stagnation happens because the high level challenges that an engineer faces require a superior comprehension in both technology and business. In this scenario, the engineer may be a victim of his own success. He has focused his career into mastering technology, and has not had extensive exposure to business theories, and therefore does not understand business theory application.
