I would say doing the dirty work in a profit center is the best way to become invaluable and begin working in areas you wanted to but found inaccessible earlier in your career. Then just repeat that over and over again until you’re where you want to be and enjoy it.

I’d say the hardest part of that advice is the identifying where you want to go and when you’re there, then allowing yourself to simply enjoy it rather than seeking the next thing. It’s easy to overshoot if you’re ambitious. I’m at the point of having overshot personally and trying to figure out how to walk my career backwards to where I was happiest.
