What do you do? What are your skillsets? How long have you been a part of your field?

More importantly : How did you find your job, and how did you prove your worth?

I'm a systems engineer. I have a pretty broad skillset but it's mostly centered around automation and orchestration of large server environments.

I have been doing the same sort of thing for about 6-7 years now.

I found this job after choosing to move on from a startup in the same space. Proving my worth is a harder question. I just did what I do best, which is working hard and thinking deeply about what to do and when. People value me for my judgement over most other things so I have focussed a lot on how I can hone that.
