Grab as much interesting work as you can - the more you do, the more you learn and the more you set yourself up for future roles.
Focus on results that you can sell on your CV and keep a log of your achievements. Look at job ads and see what they're looking for and get involved in the stuff that will provide proof you can do what they want and solve their issues. You aren't looking for a job now but you will be, so set yourself up for it now.
Be prepared to move industries and categories every few years. There are some places where you can progress internally but it's slow work with small pay increases. Moving organisations will allow you to skip years of stagnation.
If you aren't enjoying the game of it then it's likely not the career for you. Be honest with yourself because if you get trapped in an unsuitable specialty you'll be miserable a long time. |

The customer is invariably wrong, with little experience and exposure to your field of knowledge
Regardless, they will gladly tell you how to do your job and what tools you need to do it |

Nah. Be a dissident as anyone promoted acts like a work has chewed out their brains |
