Growing Your Engineering Career: A Guide to Setting Expectations
summary
Explains how career progression maps to concrete actions: create or hack a framework (technical, project management, leadership, values), do a self gap analysis, and share a measurable plan with timelines and feedback requests. Recommends tools like Lattice or Google Doc to track goals, courses on DataCamp/Udemy for skills, and external mentoring (Plato) for leadership gaps. Emphasizes own one-on-ones and review goals bi-weekly so progress is documented and promotable.
