Pretty much every company I've been in or know of values a vertical trajectory instead of a horizontal one for its employees i.e becoming a manager nearly always means a faster salary progression than becoming an expert in one or multiple fields.

Why is expertise valued less?

I used to scoff at the idea of "leaders" until I experienced good leadership and learned the difference between lead and manage.

I suspect a lot of people here think they mean the same thing.
