I think being a "Cowboy Coder" is problematic in a professional environment.
Being on the both sides, I know how hard is to work with the cowboy coders / lone wolfs, especially if they're introverted.
Inheriting a project written by a cowboy coder might be a nightmare.
Obviously I don't know your background and skillset, so the stuff written below may not apply to you.
You need to learn how to communicate clearly and collaborate with the management and the team members.
You need to learn modern SDLC methods and techniques (basic project management such as Kanban, documenation, clear commit messages, Pull Requests, TDD, CI/CD, IaC[1]/DevOps, etc.)
Coding assignments should be the easy part.
