[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50% playing the game, 30% luck and 20% accomplishments.[/quote] +1 Producing a lot of very good work is sometimes counterproductive to getting ahead. Not always -- in corporate law, for instance, where your value to the firm is linked directly to your ability to bill hours and please clients, effort is much more important (though even there, you can have value as an associate but never move up if you don't develop the right relationships and also luck out somewhat on timing and opportunities). But in non-law, corporate careers, working smarter not harder, and knowing which wheels to grease is much more important than actual work output.[/quote] Agree completely. You could also get trapped as a subject matter expert or salesperson or other high level individual contributor because you’re very good and productive in that role and leadership wants you to stay put there.
