die Karriere, -n
career
Der Weg, den jemand im Berufsleben macht, oft mit dem Ziel, bessere Positionen oder mehr Verantwortung zu bekommen.
The German word "Karriere" is a noun that means "career." It comes from the Latin word "carrera," which means "race" or "career path." In common usage, "Karriere" refers to a person's professional journey, including progressions in job roles, achievements, and levels of success in a particular field.
Similar words in German include "Beruf" (profession/job) and "Laufbahn" (career path).
The key difference is that "Beruf" focuses on the specific job or profession, while "Laufbahn" denotes the trajectory one takes within a career, including various stages and roles. "Karriere," on the other hand, encompasses both the overall professional advancements and the aspirational aspects associated with achieving personal or professional success.
