There are 5 stages in an individual's career:

Exploration Stage: This is the stage where an individual builds expectations about his career. Some of them are realistic and some are not. But the fact is that these could be a result of the individual's ambitions.
Establishment Stage: This could be at the stage where the individual gets his first job, gets accepted by his peers, learns in this job, and also gains the first tangible evidence of success or failure.
Mid Career Stage: The individual's performance levels either continue to improve, or levels, or even deteriorates.
Late Career: This is regarded as a pleasant phase, where one is allowed to relax and play the role of an elderly statesman in the organization.
Decline: The stage, where the individual is heading towards retirement.
