Great post. As someone who is currently an assistant super and has been since 2017 I appreciate this post. It has been something I've thought long and hard about. I don't feel like it is necessary to join the rat race and chase a superintendents position. I am content with my position. I love the team that I am surrounded by, I am still learning and getting to experience new things and grow, we have exciting stuff happening currently and planned for the future. Maybe in the future I will want to seek a GCS position, but right now I am content and happy and can continue to grow both just as a person and as a AGCS.
This industry can do a much better job of providing a quality work experience for those who are not superintendents, or directors. There is a place for those who may not want chase, as you say, that level. Of course, we also need to make sure we are providing everything necessary to make that happen-salary probably being the number one item on the list.

Thanks for the kind regards.
