You definitely have to advocate for yourself in this industry. I always make sure to talk to my manager early on and ask what promotions look like. If you have a good manager, they will help you develop a plan to get there.

So true! Being proactive and having that conversation early makes such a difference. When managers are supportive and clear about the path, it really helps you stay motivated and work toward the next step.

Pro
