Lateral moves can work out very well. Sometimes you're on a team that's stuck in the mud, and finding a new place where you can flourish can be life-changing. And if you can make a case for the move and a raise at the same time, all the better.
I think lateral moves are great but particularly if you can negotiate more pay
CXS 31 - disagree. Taking a role in the same pay band is a lateral. You can still get paid more without it being considered a promotion
Lateral moves may set the stage for vertical moves. I am in sales and at this point, advancing looks like it will require moving into a different area and a lower level. There is clearly a very low ceiling for advancement for sales professionals.
