Progress, on the other hand, is contextual and dynamic. It is ultimately a question of what your professional Job to Be Done is, and allows you to chart your own course rather than follow a single, narrow path of progression. Depending on your context, progress may be about autonomy and flexibility, preparing for the future, respect and recognition, or simply collecting a paycheck during a time of instability.
