Oh wow. I'm going to be the first one to say this on this thread.

Hustle. Slog hard. Build your brand. Find happiness in the mundane to stay motivated. Do all this before you're 30. And go into cruise control after that.

Take it easy in your younger years. It won't make a big difference when you're 30+ if you make 20l or 50lpa. Or work in a lil better role. Being overly ambitious esp at the cost of your own mental health ain't worth it
PS: Not an advice exactly. I'm 22 and that's how I seem to be keen to take my life trajectory.

No company will be ever loyal to you, so don't waste your mental health/energy on a workplace that just doesn't make you happy! I feel like I spent so much of my early career spending late nights, working hard etc...just to make someone else money and now I see that it doesn't have to be that way

don't 'work for the weekend'. If you job is so stressful that the rest of your day after work is basically a throwaway, then you need a new job.

Im working in Application support and a short term advice would be "Issues are temporary, Team is permanent".
This is from a recent incident where I was working on a issue that has been ongoing for past 1month and now that it has been resolved, I look back and realise that how we deal with our co-workers during hard times is important.
