Career paths — FAQs
What is a career path?
A career path is the typical sequence of roles you move through as you grow in a field — usually from junior to mid-level, then senior, then lead, principal or manager. OnJob has career-path guides for 119 roles below, each showing the levels, the next roles to move into, and how pay grows.
How do I plan my career path?
Start from your current role, learn the levels above it and what changes at each (scope, skills, ownership), identify the next role you want, and close the skill gap deliberately. Pick your role below to see its full progression, the related roles you can branch into, and the skills to level up.

Quick answer: what does a career path in this role look like?
Pick a role below to see the usual progression: the titles at each stage, what changes in the work, and roughly what the market pays at each step. Progression in Indian hiring is rarely a straight ladder, so the guides also name the common sideways moves that lead somewhere better.
How do I know which path fits me?
Compare what each stage actually involves rather than what it is called. Many people accept a management track because it is the default and find the work is scheduling and reviews rather than the craft they enjoyed. Read the day-to-day for the stage above yours before you aim at it.
