My experiences?
- Excel in your domain
- Learn management and communication skills
- Get recognized for your expertise's
- Know your worth
I've seen good, competent engineers whom have no interest in anything other than their technical area of work. However, the management usually don't see the good thing these engineers do and are usually overlooked.
The higher you go, the less engineering and the more business skills you'll need.

A manager is NOT an engineer. The skillsets are completely different. Whatever it is, it seems that people at the top forget that they are supported by people at the bottom. Neglect them and sooner or later the company would be scraping the bottom of the barrel, left with no choice but to hire foreign "talents" or mediocre engineers.
