Ask HN: Employee Career roadmap for small scale IT consulting company
We are a small scale IT consulting company which helps other companies build SAAS products. Right now there are 12 people in team. Most of them are full stack developers along with a some DevOps skills.
Usually developers start as a fresher and learn with other experienced developers and eventually get better year by year.
I would like to know how we should build a career roadmap for developers so that they could achieve growth in their career?

More depth would mean developing their technical ability, going from junior developer to architect of smaller size applications to massive applications or developing mastery in certain technologies.
More breadth would mean providing them with a path that lets them develop their managerial skills, technical or non-technical, eventually equipping them with skills to run their own technical teams, driving sales, become partners in the business, etc.
A consideration would also be to have an honest conversation with your team and where do they want to grow their careers. Though they might churn to startups or enterprise companies, treating them well could result in referral business.
