Given that they did not wear t-shirts during the medieval times, a term like medieval t-shirts can be quite confusing. So what exactly does it mean? Here at Dark Knight Armoury, it means awesome t-shirt, or, more particularly, it means awesome t-shirt that features any number of impressive and incredible designs of a medieval nature. Here, medieval shirts are of a quite varied design, featuring all sorts of different images. Some feature impressive medieval warriors as they head into battle, mounted on impressive creatures and brandishing powerful looking weapons. Other shirts feature more peaceful designs, like angels or unicorns as they participate in peaceful, calm activities. A few of our medieval shirts even depict death as he does any number of activities ranging from peaceful to aggressive, while others use fearsome monsters as their primary design. Some are Celtic in their style, possessing classic knotwork and beautiful moonstones that make the shirt instantly recognizable as work of Celtic art, while others are distinctive only because their style defies classification. Demons, devils, and beasts of all sorts can be found here, as can warriors and designs of various types, all depicted on a comfortable shirt that is crafted from quality materials to ensure that it remains as comfortable on day 50 or day 100 as it was on day 1, while also featuring the same vibrant color and design. That, and so much more, is what a medieval t-shirt is to us here at Dark Knight Armoury. If we have piqued your interest, why not take a moment to start browsing through them now, to try and find that medieval t-shirt that catches your eye and needs to be made a part of your wardrobe?

Many of us, for most of our lives, have heard about the necessity of "climbing the ladder of success." When you reach a certain age, the expectation is that you naturally will have progressed into middle or upper management. In the security industry, I've seen quite a few incredibly talented and passionate individuals burn out or leave their jobs due to the lack of a clear, authentic path for career progression. Even for those of us who have remained, there can be a lingering sense of confusion or a lack of motivation if we are uncertain about the road ahead as we achieve a certain level of seniority.
This is a fairly new industry, which means there are fewer identifiable "next steps" as far as careers go. Many of us seem to fly by the seat of our pants and take whatever position that sounds appealing rather than be directed by specific goals. And when that no longer works, some feel it necessary to get out of the industry entirely.
That's not to say that brilliant engineers can't be amazing people-managers. These skill sets can and often do overlap. Plus, there are ways to improve your management skills, if this is something you want to pursue. On the other hand, if you find you've achieved your "highest level of incompetence" in management, it does not have to be a career-limiting maneuver if you decide to go back to a technical trajectory.
There is usually a short list of things people are after when they think about "climbing the corporate ladder": money, intellectual enrichment, and respect. While joining the C-suite is certainly one way to achieve that, it's not the only way. Here are a few suggestions to help you find a career path in line with your abilities and interests:
If this is too far removed from the nitty-gritty, consider two alternative directions. The first is to explore laterally: are there projects or subjects you'd be interested in investigating? Sometimes a departmental "exchange program" can be an interesting change of pace. The second is to specialize: Can you get a much more in-depth knowledge of your area of interest? Specialist roles may also allow you to command a higher salary. While this choice carries some risk — all areas of specialization eventually will go extinct — if you're willing to move laterally, it need not be a dead end.
Find inspiration. Sponsorship and mentorship are great ways to get ahead once you've decided on a pathway, as is having a peer who is on a similar career expansion journey. Having someone who can amplify your voice as well as your insight can make your own trek seem less overwhelming. And don't be deterred by the people who express concern about their ability to attract mentors and sponsors when they don't get the reflected glory of having a protégé climbing the ranks. It's certainly possible to find people who are intrinsically motivated to offer assistance. But performing well at a high-profile project can also offer extrinsic motivation.
Inspire others. It's also very possible to act as a leader without having official management responsibilities. "Thought leadership" can raise the profile of individuals and their organizations by giving others the benefit of expert experience. Team leaders can raise the skill level of a single mentee, a group, or a whole organization. And, as with mentorship and sponsorship, this type of leadership can provide both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation.
With an ever-growing skills gap, we can scarcely afford to lose any talent, much less people with significant experience. Don't let career stagnation be an exit ramp. Use it as an opportunity to explore and to deepen your enthusiasm.
