career peak
Top of profession
Career peak refers to the highest point of professional success or achievement in someone's working life—the period when their influence, earnings, recognition, or performance reaches its maximum.
Athletes have career peaks in their physical prime; executives at the height of their power.
The term often appears retrospectively: Looking back, that promotion was my career peak.
Someone at their career peak commands their greatest value in the marketplace.
