One thing about that is, if you're interested in management or a full-time commission sales role or hoping to go into the back of a store for inventory control, how would they know unless you tell them "In a few years, I'd like to be working towards an XYZ role?"
I always answered "I'd still like to be doing what I'm doing--designing products--but with more challenges and responsibility if my experience and results warrant it." It was clear that I DIDN'T want to be on a management track, but DID want to be the "Go To Guy" for stuff that was tricky to accomplish. But nobody knows unless you tell 'em.
