The solution is to be a shameless self-marketer of all the work you do.

This does seem like the antithesis of useful, productive engineering work.

  • Even spending 5% of your time self marketing has massive dividends on your career vs spending 0% of your time. The virtues of your skills aren't self evident.

    • True. But when you're a smart kid and you get auto-noticed in school with no effort on your own part (aside from the academic effort!), maybe it's time to add a course like "Creating Your Own P.R... And Believing It Too" into the curriculum.
