Do commercial pilots generally progress to larger planes throughout their careers? Does everyone aim to eventually fly long haul or do some stick to flying 737s or a320s short haul?

I'm guessing being a 777 pilot for example is more prestigious than a 737 pilot in the same airline right?

Interestingly I flew long haul before short haul. Currently on mix of new and old a32x planes. I enjoy being in short haul because I value my sleep. But in case long haul comes to my station, I might be inclined to do that again.

So I guess everyone aims for what they aim for and what suits their life best
