What is inside

The Ladder Nobody Draws Explicitly: Why BSA career paths are usually informal, and why that costs people years.
The Core BSA Ladder: Junior Analyst through Principal, and what actually distinguishes each level.
What Actually Moves You Up a Level: Skills and demonstrated impact, not tenure: and how to build evidence deliberately.
The Four Branches: Where the Ladder Forks: Product, Delivery, Data, and Consulting, and how I'd think about choosing between them.
Having the Conversation With Your Manager: How I'd actually raise this, and what I've seen go wrong when people don't.
Staying on the Core Ladder Is a Valid Choice: Why I don't think everyone should branch, and how to tell if you shouldn't.
Building Your Own Roadmap: A worksheet for mapping your specific next two moves.
