Career Mobility

Career mobility is an important aspect of any career journey. Unfortunately, it's typically misunderstood. Many people may think of career mobility in terms of a ladder, where you can only climb higher or drop lower. However, career mobility is much more flexible than that, with a better representation being a lattice. By using the lattice (or horizontal) structure, it is easier to understand than mobility is not simply up or down but can also be left to right. Career mobility isn't always a straight line, and understanding the benefits of horizontal movement can enrich your career experience.
