When it comes to career advancement, one of the hardest transitions is from junior level to senior level. This isn't because the change in responsibilities is difficult, but because this is the first significant change in someone's career and they usually don't have a full understanding of what it takes to make the transition.   Early promotions are often some of the fastest in your career setting expectations that promotions will continue at that pace. It's these expectations and the fact that the role is changing that makes this transition exceptionally difficult. Those making the transition often don't have the corporate maturity to understand the fact that what has worked in the past is not what will work now.   When you are making the transition from junior level to senior level, it becomes more important to take on the right tasks and not focus on more tasks. If you are just taking on more tasks, you will eventually find yourself spread too thin which means that your ability to deliver will be impacted and your previously strong performance reviews may begin being impacted -- compounding the problem of obtaining a promotion. You may also find yourself exhausted and drained leading to burnout.   Listen to this week's episode for some insights in how to break past this plateau and get your career back on track. https://lnkd.in/dQsNayD5
