You will most likely change professions/jobs throughout your career, so don’t allow yourself to become complacent in your current job.
Look for ways to become employable by developing your skill-set that can be transferable between jobs.
Some of the ways to do this is to learn other functions/roles within your company. You can achieve this by volunteering, seeking projects to work on, etc. Another way to develop skills is by taking courses that you lack for your dream career.
