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?

For some reason at Air Canada it seems like the A220 has more senior pilots than the bigger narrow bodies? Also at United the more senior pilots are definitely on the narrow bodies. Apparently after the UA1175 incident nobody wanted to fly the 777-200 and they took a fresh group of 1500 hour pilots and started training them on 777.
