If you don't have the resources you need to complete a project, don't be afraid to speak up. If the documentation for a project is in another language, it is far cheaper for the company to pay for professional translation than for the project to putter along and fail as you struggle with google translate.
Similarly, if the end-goal of a project is not clear, don't be afraid to stop things and ask.
Judge new tools by the quality of documentation and how possible it is for you to get a clear mental model.
In interviews, always as what their onboarding process is.
If someone asks for a time estimate and you don't know the answer, don't let them pressure you into lying. Hold your ground and say you don't know.

I.e make it a highest priority to build enough of a finical cushion that doing these things are even an option.
