Great topic, and I’d say there are already some signs you are asking the right questions. A few of my own thoughts:
Use your capital constrained mindset productively, but be attuned to when to shut it off. Being able to do a lot with a little can be a positive trait inside a larger company (e.g., early days on an unproven project), but you need to recognize when capital should be applied so you don’t risk unknowingly playing small ball.
There is something to be said for another commenter’s suggestion to “relax” a little bit. You’ll need to, because larger companies move more slowly. Be willing to push, but recognize that there are limits to what a large org can do in a short amount of time. That’s just reality.
Try your best to adopt a longer term mindset. In a smaller company you are often focused on what’s happening right now - larger companies have more space and more runway to think over longer arcs of time. What are the implications of what you are doing now a year, or even three years out?
