early career - you are paid for your speed of execution later stages - you are paid for your ability to prevent blunders
During your early stages, you are almost always rewarded for your ability to learn new concepts, tools, and tech. So, be malleable and work towards building an ability to learn on the go and ship things faster.
During the later stages, you are rewarded for your foresight and ability to pinpoint the gaps in design and execution. So, be astute and work towards asking the right questions and knowing your systems in and out.
Once you understand this, it becomes easy for you to optimize your career.
