The financial and career moves that build a real foundation early in an IT career — hard-earned hindsight on what to prioritize once you land that first job.

The 7 moves:
1️⃣ Negotiate — even early on, always ask
2️⃣ Get your retirement match — free money from day one
3️⃣ Build an emergency fund — your safety net
4️⃣ Open a Roth IRA — start compounding early
5️⃣ Watch lifestyle creep — protect your raises
6️⃣ Track your wins — build leverage for next time
7️⃣ Consider job hopping — cash in that leverage
