What considerations should you be making when marking out the career paths for your engineers?
In my last article, I talked about the importance of setting expectations early. As leads, if we don’t make expectations explicit to the team, they will still exist implicitly; not discussing expectations will only result in a mismatch. Some of the most important areas to align on expectations include performance, career pathing, and growth. A growth framework creates a common understanding of levels within a role and what’s required for an engineer to advance in their career. I’ll share with you my learnings from developing one for individual contributors (with a lot of support from all across Rasa, of course!).
