Two different things.

Race options can be rare or common and that doesn't matter but letting players escape the intended power envelope is bad for the game.

"Climbing the corpo ladder" as a concept is bad for the game for several reasons:
>-punk sensibilities maintain that meaning is not found in the arms of authority
>Usual corporate politics mean climbing the ladder will encourage intraparty conflict, which no matter what people claim always leads to dick-swinging fuckaround nonsense
>Corporations do shit in a boring way. Adventurer shenanigans aren't reliably profitable (in world, game mechanics may not accurately reflect) and attract liability. If you have enough latitude to do shit however you want there's no sense of actual belonging to the corp in the first place.
>Working for a corporation directly like that usually means doing things which are morally unconscionable. Shadowrunners can decline infanticide jobs. Contracted employees get terminated (via cranial implant) for that.
>A close-knit team doing repeated jobs that aren't repugnant probably means a military or law enforcement game not a corporate one, and there's a few of those (or you could do it in CP2020 or Shadowrun pretty easily).

Why do Cyberpunk rpg systems always assume that you as a player would never want your character to be permanently employed by a megacorp?
