To get where you want to be faster in your career, you should consider teaming up with someone who balances out your skills. Two heads are better than one, and you both can help each other. Find someone who excels at things you're not terribly good at. This is a good time for collaboration, because any friction you've been having with authority is coming to an end. Doors are easier to elbow open than they've ever been, and your requests will be honored almost without question.
