• Be curious, even it others are turned away by it, you can’t teach and will carry you throughout your career
• Focus on yourself, comparison is the thief of joy
• Your network will carry you further than your resume, get mentors you trust, help them, they will help you
• Be kind, helpful, and interact with everyone. You won't remember the amazing code, documents, ppt you made during your job for long but these interactions and people will stay with you forever.
• Set goals: Set small, short-term goals regularly to keep you focused on your professional growth. You can also identify your personal and professional values to guide your career.
• Maintain a positive attitude: Try to persevere and keep your promises. Positivity can carry you incredibly far, especially when you are lifting others up around you. People would much rather work with someone who is positive than someone who brings down the energy in the room.
