Your ideal early career map?

Hello guys, I want to keep this as broad as I can so people can really share their thoughts and experiences. What in your opinion is the best early career roadmap one can take?

What are the best graduate jobs? what is the best goal to set for yourself? how much does your alma mater really matter? etc

Do share your thoughts and experiences in whatever way you want. 

Have a nice day
