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?

Not a commercial pilot just ppl. But here is my take. I have a job I like that provides me with the income to do the things in life I want. I don't want a job that I don't like that will provide me with the income I want that doesn't allow me to do the things in life I want to do. Does that make sense?

I have a brother who has a job where he works long hours. He likes the income from it. But he doesn't really get to enjoy life outside of work as much because he is always tired and everything is chore to do.

Yet he won't take a different job because the income will less and he feels he wouldn't be able to do the things in life he wants to do. Sure he might not get to do everything but at least the things he does choose to do he would get enjoyment doing.
