Unfortunately, It cannot apply to what I experienced. I would love though.

Being far above good isn't enough either. Being highly productive and effective result in work done faster.. and more work given !

Better to use your skill at your service rather seek/hope for promote.

I love this quote from Jason Lengstorf[0]: "A career is a pie-eating contest & the prize for winning is more pie"

It's weird to think about and do, but you have to be strategic about what you are good at.

I like to say to juniors that they need to be loudly active. If you do a good thing, ask a random question about it somewhere your manager can see, especially if he didn’t explicitly instruct you to do the thing.

They’re not mind readers, and most of them are pleasantly surprised when you do things that make them look good.
