- Senator, the most common step before Legislator, is of similar seniority which is common to see in career paths. People will often move between jobs and roles at the same level as they explore new types and gain experience for more senior roles.
- While Senator is the most common, there is no specific role leading to Legislator that is an overwhelmingly common path.
- Another characteristic of the Legislator career path is that experience within the same job family as this role isn't common and as a result likely not necessary.
- This shows there are many potential paths to becoming a Legislator so focusing on translatable skills is likely more important than a specific role.
- This is a Senior role meaning if you don’t have significant work experience and likely also experience in a closely related field, you need to start more than one or two steps away from this role in planning your path. Consider senator or teacher as these are the most popular career starting points for Jobtrees users that led to legislator. For a quicker path to this senior role title, consider looking at smaller companies as they have less layers to get to these more senior titles. The scope of the role and likely the pay though will still likely compare more similarly to a less experienced role title at a larger company. This is partly why you see some unexpected experience level titles leading to this role.
- While Senator is from the same job family, Political as Legislator, you don't necessarily need direct experience in this discipline show by Teacher also leading to Legislator.
