My Career
See how your performance stacks up against role expectations — with progress tracking for skills, competencies, and a visual career path.
What is it?
My Career gives you a clear picture of where you stand in your role and where you're headed. It compares your feedback-driven performance against the skills and competencies expected at your current level, and shows the full career path available to you. Managers can use it to understand their direct reports' growth, and admins define the expectations that power it.
Everything on this page is driven by feedback collected through Branco. The more feedback you give and receive, the more accurate and useful your career view becomes.
How it works
- 👤 Employee
- 👤 Manager
- 🛠️ Administrator
As an employee, My Career is your personal growth dashboard:
Feedback cards
Two summary cards at the top show your current standing on:
- Impact on team objectives — How your contributions are tracking against team goals.
- Progress on personal action plan — How you're doing on your development items.
Career path
A horizontal progression chart shows the full career ladder for your role — from entry level through to senior leadership. Your current level is highlighted so you can see where you are and what's ahead.
For example, a BizOps track might show: BizOps Analyst → Senior BizOps Analyst → BizOps Project Lead → Principal, BizOps → Director, BizOps.
Skills expected
Progress bars for each role-specific technical skill, showing how your feedback compares to what's expected at your level. Each skill has an info icon (ⓘ) you can click for a full description.
Competencies expected
Similar progress bars for company-wide soft skills and leadership behaviors. These are the same for everyone at your leadership level, regardless of role.
Skills are role-specific and tied to your seniority level (e.g. a Senior Engineer has different skill expectations than a Junior). Competencies are company-wide and tied to your leadership level (e.g. all senior ICs share the same competency expectations).
As a manager, My Career shows your own career progress by default. To view a direct report's career page:
- Use the "Yourself" dropdown in the top bar to switch to their perspective.
- Navigate to My Career in the sidebar.
This lets you see exactly what they see — their feedback cards, career path, skills, and competencies — so you can identify coaching opportunities and prepare for 1:1s.
Compare to
Use the "Compare to" dropdown to benchmark a team member's performance against peers or other reference points. This is useful for calibration conversations and identifying where someone is ahead of or behind expectations.
Before a check-in, review your direct report's My Career page. Look for skills showing "no feedback yet" — those are great areas to focus feedback efforts. Then add specific talking points to your 1 on 1 agenda.
As an admin, you don't directly edit anything on the My Career page itself — but you control everything that powers it:
- Skills and role expectations are configured in Company Settings → Functions & Skills.
- Competencies and values are configured in Company Settings → Values & Competencies.
- Career paths and levels are configured in Company Settings → Career Paths & Levels.
Changes you make in Company Settings are reflected on every user's My Career page automatically.
Career paths support both IC (Individual Contributor) and Management tracks with five seniority levels: Entry Level, Intermediate, Senior, Director/Principal, and VP. Each level has its own skill and competency expectations.
