Force Multipliers: Longterm Design Careers for Non-Leads

In this GDC 2021 session, Cryptic Studios' Brett Norton covers the traditional 'become a lead' career advancement path, but then breaks away from that mold and lays out several proven, non-lead career paths. We'll cover the pitfalls of trying to become or grow a subject matter expert, and how seniors can impact a team as thought or technical champions.
