Informal Developmental Experiences and Career Success: A Study of Qualitative Differences in Work Experience
This study examines the informal developmental experiences and career success of current and former employees of a large professional services firm. We find that certain work experiences including high-profile work assignments, having a coach or mentor, and international work assignments are significantly related to both subjective career satisfaction and objective career success measured through compensation, wage growth and, for former employees, the attainment of top-level executive jobs. We find that these experience measures explain additional variance over the traditional work experience measures used in studies of career success.
