Take as many different projects as you can. Develop your T-shaped skills and more importantly figure out WHY you are building what you’re building. How does it help the company? The customer? Every time. Learn to ask questions that a business partner understands. Think. Don’t be an order-taker (as much as possible; sometimes we just have to do things). Understand the long-term vision and think about how to drive value at MVPs. How can you tell the story?
These things will help you now and open up your journey so you can say in tech, pursue architecture, product ownership or mgmt, etc. Being business and customer-minded while having deep knowledge of how the proverbial sausage gets made will open many doors.
My three:
1) Communication: the ability to clearly communicate your thoughts, ideas, risks, etc is always needed. This includes story telling and growing consensus.
2) Adaptability: the only constant in tech is change. You must be able to grow and adapt will make you stand out amongst your peers.
3) Work Ethic: In my experience 50%+ of people do the bare minimum (or less). The willingness to work hard and deliver will make you better than at least 50% of your peers.
Good luck!
C1: Then leave and go somewhere where your work ethic is appreciated. Not working hard because it might not be recognized or appreciated is short sighted at best.
I am old school, I have pride in my work. It might not always get recognized or rewarded however I still know that I did my best and have pride in what I do. This applies to my marriage, work, jobs around the house, hobbies, etc. Don't half ass things.

Open source was a trojan horse. If anything, contributing now is actively helping to put you out of a job as AI gobbles up your code regardless of license without any payment back. Do not contribute (unless the project does something that can't be monetized ever I.e. a video game mod or enhancement project). Look at Wordpress. Essentially, the Wordpress CEO is the bad guy for asking the community to support the developers doing the work. He even dared the WP Engine to fork Wordpress and actually do the work.
Limit the amount of times you mash your meat to just 3 times a day.
‘Don’t work in tech- it’s too broken’
This is a "Who you know" world, not "What you know" world. Find someone already on the path and stick to them like glue. Always agree with what they say/do and if they leave, try to go with them. I have not seen anyone promoted in the last 10 years that didn't meet this criteria. Good engineers just leave and look elsewhere, and hope they get with a company that's more old school.
I will agree on the zip code having a lot to do with wages. However, there is a reason for that, high cost of living, having to put up with long commutes, etc. Have to decide what you want out of a career, driving two hours a day and spending $500,000 for a 1,500 sq ft home is for some people.
I'd say skip tech altogether and go into nursing!
Document everything (cover your own rurund (rear end)). Reboot before dismantling. No matter how good you are, how prepared you are, you are replaceable. You CANNOT stand up to change - you either roll with it or you get rolled.
Know the current business, users, and relevant processes you're in. Get involved as much as you can because this is when you learn the most. Most importantly, learn from your mistakes and grow from there.
Follow your passions, pick the trends that speak to you, don't chase everything new.
And for the love of PETE! and your future self, investing that money is worth a lot more than the latest-greatest gadget. You'll do find with the last-gen model for now.
Sales- I would especially recommend this for those who are very technical.
