I'm both a developer and a security consultant, both jobs deal with this problem. Being a security person, you go from being a no-one until something happens, then every eye is on you. And with the dev side, I work mostly on backend, so my work goes unnoticed always, the frontend dev gets all the credit, no matter how many thousands lines of code I commit, if something looks prettier or just works it's because of the frontend dev.

There's two choices, you either don't give a flying fuck and deal with it, or you go as loud as you can to make yourself visible beforehand and try to get credit for your work, your choice.
