A career tip that massively propelled my success down the line
Your relationship with your manager is important. However, if you're able to be on good terms and visible with the manager's boss, this person can get you more opportunities company wide. While it’s important to be aware that some managers are territorial and jealous and might get upset with you doing this, if you know your manager well enough, it shouldn’t be an issue. Play the game right, and doors will open for you.
Do you have any tips you could give your 20-something year-old self?

This is good advice that I wish I had followed at my last job. I focused so much on my deliverables that I didn't spend as much time building relationships outside of my immediate team. When it became clear that my boss wasn't advocating for me in any way and wanted to get rid of me, I really had no other allies in the organization for support.

One of the best pieces of career advice I ever received was that I needed to 'make myself more visible to leadership and other departments.' After making a conscious effort to do so, doors started opening up for me left and right. Thanks for sharing!
