How do I know if I am doing a good job?
Red Flags:
You are taking significantly longer than the generic estimate and are not able to articulate why.
You say your Task is done, but your team always finds flaws in them.
Your PM has to follow up with you multiple times to get updates from you.
Best practices in the implementation are not represented in the code.

How do I prepare for my next role?
As a developer, the typical next role for you would be that of a Consultant. As a Consultant, you go from executing Tasks to designing Solutions and breaking them down into Tasks (for other developers). In order to be considered for the Consultant role, build these skill sets:
Understand the overall project, not just the portion you built.
Help out your Consultant by looking at requirements and designing solutions yourself.
If you don’t understand anything, research and practice till you become an expert at it.
Expand the breadth of your knowledge by reading up on (and practicing) new areas.
Practice communication - asking pointed questions, responding to questions when put on the spot, articulating solutions and recommendations, etc.
