[quote=Anonymous]Increasingly, esp post pandemic, my issue is with the word “tracked”. There are very few jobs out there that have linear progressions you could call tracks anymore. Tenure track professor is one of them, partner-track biglaw, traditional I-banking and consulting? For the rest of us, I’ve been learning firsthand, to call anything a “track” is just inapt. I’ve been able to take a 1 year break and do part time for stretches without hurting my “career”, however that’s defined. Before my current break I was making more $ than I ever had before and with more responsibility. I have switched industries from where I started. There isn’t a track for me, and I see more careers looking like mine over time. My issue is with this mental model we all have of tracks, one-way progression, linearity, an assumption that we stay in the same industry that we started in. For most of us, that way of thinking is stifling and unnecessary.[/quote]
