I like this. I'm not motivated by corporate ladders, so I don't think my manager knows what to do with me. I work at a senior level, so I'll probably get a promotion this year, but I guess I'm not excited enough about it (beyond money) for him :P
As long as I'm getting paid in a stable gig, cool :)
Part of the issue, though, is
'rockstars' are career driven, and companies like to hire rockstars, so I tend to be surrounded by that sort at work
I hang out here with driven tech folks
I lurk on AskAManager where everyone there is ultra career driven
So it seems so wrong to not care about a 5/10/20-year plan. Everyone thinks I'm trying to pivot to data science or ML but I'm just doing my thing whatever happens.

Wow! Kudos for keeping your ground.
