Most people want to advance in their careers. That can mean going from the prep cook to the head chef, from the intern to the CEO (over a very long period), or just getting a slight raise and title bump from where you were two years ago.

That desire might be practical: Why learn and become a better worker for the same pay and recognition? Or it might be an emotional need to be seen and rewarded. Either way, it makes sense to consider how you can get to your next role.
