Abstract: This article aims at analyzing the concept of career stages in the light of today's professional world in which professional evolutions seem to be much more erratic than in the past, as shown by the reactions of the 'Y generation' or the development of 'nomad careers'. The analysis is based on four ways of measuring the various stages of a career used in a survey based on a sample of 117 salespeople and sales managers in the '4murs' company working in the field of commercial distribution. The results show that career stages are not as clearly distinct as they used to be in the traditional models. The different approaches do not lead to similar results: the results of the scales based on age or seniority categories differ from those of the career stages based on attitudes at work. This tends to confirm that the career stages could start again in cycles for a given person's active lifetime.
