How to make progress in your career at Publitas:
- Develop your vision and goals for one to three years ahead. Remember, this is not an overnight exercise. It is a continuous process and will become apparent after six weeks to six months of constant attention and iteration.
- Share your vision and plans with your team lead, including any transition idea you have in mind. Note that transitions need time to be clarified, planned, and executed. (Usually 6 to 12 months)
- Make progress in your Seniority/Gear/stage level. Learn about these levels and what they mean in practice. In collaboration with your team lead, find the gap towards your next level and work on closing that gap continuously. See also Performance reviews / AoR-SL assessment (under review ⚠️)
