One advice you’d give yourself now after having a few years of work exp

1. Mental health and well being is more important than any amount of money, don’t get burned out
2. Get mentor who can guide you through early phases of your career
3. Devloping good comm skills helps you throughout your career, esp if you see yourself in a leadership role someday

Dont try to prove yourself to anyone, especially some manager. They come and go by the dozen, just hone your interpersonal skills and subject matter. You will save a lot of time and grief if you don't constantly try to impress someone

Don't get into groupism. That thing will not evolve your career.

1. Stand next to the smartest person in the room. Surround yourself with smart people
2. Always save x% of your salary, x should be double digits. Once you get salary, this should be invested and 100 - x is what you have for expenses. That way, in the long term you’ll be wealthy and you’ll spend wisely.

Never lose your character or what you are to adjust to you job. You'll regret it later that you have become a completely different person.
