Personal Growth Overview

Personal growth goes hand in hand with career progression. You need to demonstrate both experience (achievements and results) and capability (technical skills and soft skills) to get to the next level.

Personal growth guides focus on how to grow your technical skills and soft skills.

Technical skills are the foundation for a software engineer. Without solid technical skills you are unlikely to deliver solid products and features that drive business impacts.

If your manager is technical, he or she will be able to tell where you stand in terms of technical skills among your peers.

However, when a groups of engineers have similar levels of technical skills, those with better soft skills would likely move up faster and have more success in their career.
