Some of it is simply being in the right place at the right time. I've seen people pulled into higher responsibility based on their personality. I've seen other find new jobs for the sake of an advancement in their career path. Most of the position titles are vague anyway because for example you can't get a degree in Senior Architect. It all boils down to how much money a company wants to pay for a given set of expectations. Virtually nobody knows ahead of time if the expectations are reasonable.

My thoughts are just work hard continuously, be honest and things will start happening. Most of all be a nice person.
