Protip (for when the jobs situation improves): change jobs every 2 years or so. That way people won't have any preconceived (and largely incorrect) notions about you. It's useful to start from a fresh sheet of paper from time to time. It also helps with getting better pay, since you can't be treated as a piece of furniture and you always get market rate, which tends to go up over time. Or at least it did for the past 2 decades.


And you also experience different companies. Not all companies are the same. A job title that is a nightmare in one place can be a pleasure in another. Sometimes you question yourself because you dont have recent experiences to compare it to and once you do, you may realize it was simply a bad place to work at. When you’ll look back at this you’re going to somehow be grateful it happened this way. This will open you to new experiences. Granted, you’re gonna be forced out of uour comfort zone. Good luck to you and don’t forget to trust in yourslef
