> The easiest way is to actively work to make a high-profile project successful. This is more or less what you ought to be doing anyway, just as part of your ordinary job

this involves you getting a chance to work on it in the first place. why would you in particular be getting to work on those projects?

you have to first align yourself with VP and become their bitch. someone who they can trust. you should always follow prison strategy of finding the biggest bully in the yard and becoming their bitch. only then you get to even sniff work thats important. don't even think that you will be given important projects if you show off your technical acumen and skills. that strategy usually backfires and puts a target on your back both from ur peers and superiors who now see you as a threat.

just remember ppl who got into managment positions have no technical skills anymore and are highly insecure of that fact. they will murder you if they even have a little bit of inkling that you are someone who is technically proficient that can drive projects with little help.

You should consider finding a career coach, professional therapist. This level of pessimism can't be healthy.

Is that a moon? No, that's your survivorship bias!

Jokes aside, congratulations on slipping and falling up the summit, collecting not a single bruise to your ego or soul along the way. I am genuinely happy for you.
