Year 1–3: Build foundation, pick specialisation. Year 4–6: Go deep or go broad, earn management credibility. Year 7–10: Lead teams or become subject-matter expert. Revisit every 3 years.

Year 1-3 foundation is so important. People who rush to management before mastering their craft regret it consistently.
