What is career progression really? Everyone says that you must have career progression to be competitive for top schools. In the "2010 Profiles w/ Admit/Dings Results - NO DISCUSSION!" thread, I see profiles of people who work 2 years here (maybe in Consulting), 1.5 years there (maybe a startup), 9 months there (maybe in non-profit) (all unrelated industries) getting into top schools. How does this show career progression? They are not getting promoted into managerial positions within a year or so of their hire date. Are they playing up the diversity of their experiences in their essays?
2010-profiles-w-admit-dings-results-no-discussion-78475-160.htmlCareer progression can mean moving up the corporate ladder and gaining more prestigious titles, but usually it means either:
1. Attaining increasing levels of responsibility.
2. Moving closer to the position or career you desire long-term.
The latter definition allows for lateral movement if it's part of the process of figuring out what you want to do. You may be interested in
