Expanding the area of responsibility — what would you like: by tasks or by leadership, mentoring?

Expanding your scope of responsibility can be achieved in two ways: through tasks and through leadership/mentoring.

When it comes to tasks, this means taking on more complex or new technical challenges, expanding the range of technologies and areas you work in. This helps deepen professional skills and become a more versatile specialist.

On the other hand, expanding responsibility through leadership and mentoring involves helping colleagues, leading a team, participating in architectural decision-making, and developing processes. This develops communication, management, and strategic thinking skills.

The choice depends on your career goals: whether you want to deepen your technical expertise or develop managerial competencies. It is often beneficial to combine both approaches, gradually increasing influence in both technical and organizational areas.
