> I haven't met a capable European

Or maybe you’ve just been unable to appreciate it for the ones that didn’t promote themselves your way?

I do a really good job, but there’s no reason to make a big deal out of it because that’s what I’m hired for.

Exactly .. The guy above is just unable to appreciate those people, because they don't have to boast about doing what they're paid to do well. It is super basic. People boasting are usually less qualified.

I grew up in Europe, so I understand what you’re saying. Constant self promotion is one thing. Knowing when to point out that you have the skills to help or taking credit when it’s due (and callable upon) is another. Most of the people who complained about not being able to do the latter had little more than effort to call on.
