In this module, you'll learn the strategies used by Chris Oliver and Ulisses Almeida to explore alternative roads for their careers.

The vibe here is: don't wait for permission or a promotion. Start doing Senior-level tasks today and stand out.

You'll learn how to set a specific goal of what skills you want to learn and identify the companies with the best environment to support your growth.

Level up your skills by having fun while working on side projects. Challenge yourself and never feel overwhelmed. Be open and curious to stretch yourself further. Learn and support others, instead of doing it all by yourself.

In summary, get inspired and explore alternative paths, go the extra mile and get your skills to the next level.
