Career development planning is a key issue in the development of university teachers, and it is also an important foundation for their success in the field of education and contributions to society. After investigating and analyzing some universities, it was found that university teachers face challenges such as a lack of incentive mechanisms, low sense of belonging, and lack of understanding of career planning. Over time, this can lead to instability in the teaching staff and insufficient personal potential development. The development of teachers in higher education is not only related to the survival and development of universities, but also closely related to the survival interests of teachers themselves. In order to change this situation, this article conducts a detailed analysis and proposes countermeasures: strengthening confidence in responding to teacher career development, establishing an effective teacher incentive mechanism in the university system, establishing an evaluation system beneficial to teacher career development, and establishing a lifelong learning awareness. The best positioning of a university teacher is to plan their career in a timely manner, utilize their strengths and knowledge, make contributions to the construction of socialist education with Chinese characteristics within their own abilities, and gain a sense of achievement and honor in the pursuit of teaching career.
