Your Engineering Career Ladder Needs a Rewrite — AI Changed the Job
A while back, I wrote about building a modern engineering career ladder — the competency dimensions, the dual-track progression, the principle that growth should be behavior-based, not time-based. I still stand behind all of it.
But I also have to be honest: if your career ladder was written before 2025 and hasn’t been touched since, it’s already out of date. Not because the fundamentals changed — they didn’t. Because the job changed.
