A few pieces of advice:

* It's better to work 10 different jobs over the years, than do a single job for 10 years.

* Know how much you are worth and job hop when you are underpaid.

* Be aware of how the work you do creates value for the business. Chasing the latest tech fads is not adding value. Working on edge-case features that no one cares about is not adding value. Saving the company $$$ by making things more efficient absolutely adds value and job security.

* Always add value. If a role does not "feel right", like it's too easy and you know you are not contributing much then run.

* Seek mentors.

* Accept that change is the only constant and you could lose your job, but if you managed your career well finding a new job should not be bad.

* Manage your finances so you can weather a bad industry downturn.
