In a way I fear "climbing the ladder". I want to be in a place that I can teach and mentor others. I want to be in a place with increased compensation. I want to progress in my career. These things fit the "climbing the ladder" model. What I dont want is to be pulled away from being able to solve really tough technical problems. I think we have a problem in the workforce with this model that as you climb the ladder you start doing less technical. Just because you are great at writing code and building stuff, doesn't mean that you will be great at management, or want to do management. But in todays model that is the most common path to career progression.
