some people see 'career growth' as going to seminars and networking with manager types.
some people see 'career growth' as opening up a new technical manual and acquainting themselves with new stuff.
I think it's import to differentiate; networking with managers and going to industry-specific (or even company specific) seminars offers next to zero enticement for me, but I usually always have the time to read about a new language or tech.
In other words: If a growth opportunity arises, i'd rather it be personal growth.
This is such a curious POV for me - I'd genuinely like to hear your thoughts on this. Who owns your career growth if not.. you?
(If you don't desire to grow your career, that's a viewpoint I can entirely understand.)
