Depending upon context, I think the word "ambitious" today has both positive and negative connotations. In today's workaday world, it can mean a willingness to stab anybody in the back to advance one's career/standing. OTOH, when used to describe students and younger professionals, it often has a positive connotation of willing to work hard and sacrifice in order to advance.
I was the latter type of ambitious until I hit ~35, got married and had kids. After that, I started to run into a bunch of the former type and wanted nothing to do with that action.
