Never try to convince your boss of multi-ply insights that they are not already prone to seeing.

Solve their object level problem to get the credibility or take multi-ply openings as they present themselves, but never push on it.

Otherwise they'll think "He always seems to make things more complex than they need to be, or solve problems that are not the ones that are important."

This puts you in significant danger of being knocked out of the game in the future.

When you have the right multi-ply sponsor, you don't have to waste as much time on the object level tap dance.

Being able to do multi-ply thinking in a context too early in your career is a curse.

You'll be able to see multi-ply approaches your boss can't, but you won't be able to convince your boss of them, and to them it will look like you aren't doing anything useful and (maybe) just getting lucky.

You'll be surfing a wave they can't see, so they'll assume you're just lucky.
