"Leveling up" is not always good.

Be wary of The Peter Principe when making promotion as a developer.

I've met enough school examples in my life which were good developers, but were the worst persons for the job as scrum master or dev team leader. Mostly because they lacked soft skills.

that's changing roles, not "leveling up"

I have to disagree with you.

The job of senior developer comes with additional leading/coaching tasks compared with the job of junior and medior developer.

I don't disagree with that. I'm just saying what constitutes changing skill levels. I'm talking about professional development.

You're talking about job roles.
