Etymology

The term 'careerist' originated in the mid-20th century, derived from the word 'career,' which refers to one's professional journey or progress. A careerist is often seen in a negative light, as someone solely focused on advancing their career without regard for other aspects of life. The concept of a careerist has become more prevalent in modern society as the workforce has become increasingly competitive and demanding.
