# From straight lines to zig zags - new routes to career success

SAPRO | Nov 10, 2023, 6:55:33 AM

In a recent article in [Inside Public Accounting](https://insidepublicaccounting.com/), Chris Camara touches on the way the traditional up-or-out career path in the accounting profession is shifting.

According to Chris, the trajectory these days look more like a jungle gym than a typical ladder or train track - highlighting the need for firms to change their approach to hiring and retention. 

Our very own Rachel Platt weighed in on this topical subject, outlining the importance of flexibility and employee engagement.
