Abstract
Modern Russian society, according to domestic sociologists, is going through the stage of transition to a new social reality characterized by very dynamic changes in all spheres of life. Reflecting on the changes in the social reality of the Russian society, highlighting significant events, giving them significance and meaning, the individuals form and adjust their life strategies that serve their core life strategy suggesting setting goals, means and methods to achieve it. Professional career is one way to implement such life strategies as a vital strategy of material prosperity and success, a strategy of self-realization. Therefore, such issues as career choice or change, the choice of career implementation strategy, the factors contributing to it, legitimization models which lie in the understanding of subjectively successful career still remain relevant.
