I be also had a job early in my career where I was basically allowed to work on anything that interests me and 20 years later I’m still relying on that experience.

Maybe this is something every junior should do - try a bit of everything and see what you like.

That's why I think a good consulting agency can be a great first place to work. Lots of projects, hopefully different technologies, perhaps international clients with travel. Then once you know what you like and specialize a bit in it, it's easier to step to some product company as a senior.

Plus, in my experience consulting companies are more focused in employee well-being as it's their only asset.
