Persevere. There is always something to learn, no matter how much experience you have. Persevere through the challenges and keep up a positive attitude!
Failures = Steps to success. Don't be afraid to fail. Learn from your failures. Without them, you won't know what to avoid and what to do to get you to finally succeed.
Learn source control. Normally not taught in school. It's crucial for professional work.
Learn soft skills too. Written and verbal communication skills, ability to work well with people, being collaborative are all skills that will earn you a promotion faster and will generate more $$$.
Learn project management. Software is complex and majority will require adequate project management. Again, extra $$$ if you can do this.
