I want to be recognized for my hard work, but I don’t know how to put myself out there. I see colleagues getting praised, promoted, or given better opportunities, while I just keep my head down and do my job well. How do you make sure your bosses and higher-ups notice your effort without coming off as overly self-promotional? Do I speak up more in meetings, take on high-visibility projects, or just casually drop my achievements in conversations? What’s the right balance?

Same boat here. I started speaking up more in meetings, even just to share quick wins or learnings. It gets easier over time, and people start noticing. You don’t have to shout, as in just raise your voice a little more often. It really helps.
