to avoid having your career lost you should double save it.
i use a quick save as well as the regular save so if i get a corrupted save file i can go back to a clean version and not loose the whole career.
just save everything on the quick save file then after confirming it is clean and in good working order you restart the game with this quick saved game then save it to the good save file. in this way you can check your saved game before you overwrite the good career file. if you get a bad save its easy to restart the career from the regular save file only loosing your last progress before the save.
most problems i have read about are the result of saving the game while there are generated contacts on the map at the time you make the save. it is recommended to only save from a complete stop while surfaced and have no nearby AI generated contacts on the map at the time.
