Start building your career so you have job security now. This means doing things to eventually move into management or doing projects/blogs/postcasts so that you stand out. When resumes come across someones desk being a generic developer is not going to help, and it gets worse as you get older. Having something that you can show off even if its just a collection of blog posts about how you built a simple CLI tool using Nim will make you stand out. Work on your soft skills. Being able to communicate and get your ideas across is more important then being able write the best code in any organisation. It will make you stand out. Learn public speaking and show what you have done. Be your own champion because its rare for someone to do that for you. Lastly, learn some new technology and write posts about it. You will become the expert in it if you do this at the right time and frequently. This will open up new opportunities.
