I started out as a SWE and moved up the ranks pretty quickly. I also have 10 YOE and I work for a Fortune 25. What worked for me is focusing on getting to the next level. At each position I strived to get to the next higher title by exceeding performance goals. I always perform at the next level up. I made sure everyone noticed my accomplishments. I aligned with both business and technical units. You need managers to notice you and building relationships is a must. Start thinking strategically and implement solutions that will help your company achieve its bottom line.
