This path shows individual contributors in any tech role how to grow from where they are, turning everyday moments like 1:1s, projects, and reviews into real advancement no matter the direction you choose. If you're capable but stuck, it gives you concrete moves to get recognized and stay ahead.

Prerequisites
  • No technical prerequisites. This path assumes you're already working in a technical role (any track) with enough experience to have a manager, regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and real project work to apply it to. It's aimed at established contributors looking to advance, not at people entering or still choosing a tech career.
