This is a little too jaded, but in all seriousness younger me, everything except the 2+ remote jobs is true. Always ask yourself _does my manager want this, or do I think my manager will want this when I'm done with it?_. Also, you never take a stand on anything in the sense that _you never want to be the only person in the room advocating for something longer than a couple sentences_. Adults are just as nasty as middle schoolers, but to your face, they won't say a thing. They are old enough to have learned its easy and feels good to shit on other people, and it is hard and feels bad to have a Discussion(tm).
