Not necessarily a mistake in terms of work delivery, but in my first job out of UG I was naive and assumed hard work (and quality) would be the path to promo / reward. When I was passed up for promo I took the time to find a mentor who was willing to have an open discussion with me and coach me on navigating office politics/ selling myself to find new opportunities. Pivoted my focus career-wise and left that mundane job without a second thought.
So true!! Hard work is not everything. I had a peer who worked 10x harder than I did but was so awkward with our bosses and other more senior employees. I was well-liked, praised frequently, and given more money, and she was seen as an oddball. Being able to establish banter and camaraderie is so important.
