Stay true to your work. And take on new initiatives irrespective of your role or relevance. Do things that's not expected from you today.
You can keep switching, and that will increase your pay early in the career. But if you really want to get to the top ladder, you will have to stay longer at a company to, and further have a deeper impact

This! After 20 years of work, I can vouch that PPL who reach executive positions are those who stay 3-4 years atleast and hv one promotion to show on each of their jobs, moving sideways will only get some 10-15% more in short term. Long term it's the executive roles that will pay you more. This applies as early as 8-12 years. Not everyone will end up starting up and getting funded so planning a corporate career right is not a bad idea!

Don't be in a hurry to climb the ladder. Cultivating deep knowledge and skills, both technical & political / organizational, take time and experience to build.
If you climb too quickly without building those core skills, you'll falter at the top and suffer. Success is a life-long ongoing journey, not a particular destination.
Domain knowledge , the single best and little slow but proven way to growth . You may grow fastest if you jump companies every 6 months but you will not be considered beyond your 3rd jump . So either by your 3rd Jump reach an extremely good company or work in one good company for 3-5 year , gain domain expertise , spend time upskilling yourself and then jump to a bigger/better role with much higher pay 💰

If you work or not doesn't matter that much. You should be good at selling yourself and filling up forms for review etc etc.

Only hard work does not always pay off. It may if you are lucky. But let's not rely on luck. So you need to be a sales man for yourself. A good sale is below quality,
Networking, Making long lasting connections, good peoples skills, presentation skills is equally important.
Given the rise of AI, will hard skills be relevant in the next 5-10 years ?
I think soft skills will be valued the most in coming years
There is no fast to climb the success ladder, you can see the fast and 'successful' bitching about being laid off daily
Build expertise in your domain, that will stay with you as you progress. Keep exploring for roles/jobs that push you to learn new skills, it is easy to get stuck in a comfort zone.
Learn how to build your brand, irrespective of the domain, communication is an essential skill and you should invest time to understand how to influence senior stakeholders and communicate your wins and learnings.
Define your success
May sound simple . But yes that’s the truth - only people who know where to go have, what they want have achieved “Success “
1. Be a good person to work with. Show energy, bring positivity, be helpful and have a strong work ethic. Most good career opportunities in your 30s will come through referrals: people who worked with you and can vouch for you to others.
2. Try different roles and companies early in your career. Figure out what you are good at and what you are interested in. And then double down on it in your late 20s and 30s. As you grow in your career, employability comes with expertise. So discover your career strengths early.
3. Date with intent in your mid 20s. Get to know what are deal-breakers for you and what you can live with. Your personal/family life and compatibility in your marriage, will have a disproportionate influence even on your professional life & success in your 30s.
4. If you have the itch or aspiration to start up, no better time than your 20s. You have fewer responsibilities and your opportunity cost (from employment income) is the lowest. It only gets much harder to take that leap of faith in your 30s.
For first point,
What if you try your best to bring positivity but some other asshole in the team doesn’t understand you
Start your own startup in non-tech domain, as tech is done already or build hardware products.

The slow and hard way is actually the fastest way to succeed in the long term. The easiest way to succeed is to become a person who deserves that success.
See the long run and ignore the shortcuts. Be the person whom you would be willing to pay a lot of money and good positions. Be the person whom would you would like to be a partner with or do business with.
Doesn’t really matter much how many job switch you do, how frequently you do it, politics and other things. In the long run it wont matter.

1. Work hard in your job. Don't complain and waste time. We know everyone is replaceable, but work so damn hard that if at all you decide to resign and switch sometime, it should come as a shell shocker to them.
Build a program/product/team from scratch, own it end to end so much that they'll never find anyone close to you who can work with the same efficiency.
You'll obviously take your learnings and apply them later on in your next job, but
You'll also earn the respect of all your colleagues which might be needed in your future corporate journey.
2. Don't chase money early on in your career unless you actually**need** it. Focus on building relationships, knowledge, learning to code (it helps) and earning respect of your colleagues wherever you go.
3. Don't get into smoking due to peer pressure. AVOID IT.
