Life lessons are aplenty, and as an IT or software developer, you’ll learn many of them the hard way. But sometimes the best advice comes from those who have been in your shoes before.

As someone who has worked in the software engineering field for many years, I’ve learned a lot of valuable lessons. These are some of the best pieces of advice that I can offer to anyone just starting out in this career.

Whether you’re just getting started or working in the industry for a while, these tips will help you improve your skills and be more successful in your career.

Here’s the short version

  1. Keep learning
  2. Stay curious
  3. Take care of yourself
  4. Know your worth
  5. Sharpen your soft skills
  6. Ask for help
  7. Collaborate
  8. Have fun

Keep learning: Technology is constantly changing, so it’s essential to stay updated on new developments…
