My biggest lessons I've learned as non-senior non-engineer: 1. You'll never be as smart as the smart guys. It's okay to give up. 2. Most likely you'll work with incompetent fools, get used to that. 3. Workplace is the best place to make friends. If someone tells you otherwise it's a psyop to turn you into a robot. 4. Minimize your output while trying to maximize your salary because mythical "job satisfaction" doesn't exist and it makes much more sense to redirect your energy elsewhere. 5. Luck is the most important factor. There is nothing I've done at work I'm truly proud of. Everything I'm proud of is completely unrelated to work.
