How can I get my work better recognized by leadership?
Software Engineer at Series B Startup8 months ago
I got feedback from my manager that I can do more to increase the scope of my influence within the company, and this involves getting more recognition and visibility from leadership for my projects. How can I do this?

- In general, you get more visibility and recognition by communicating and showing your work more.
- People love demos! If you can, demo your wins in front of your team/org/company. If there's no formal mechanism for this, maybe you can propose a demo day every month/quarter or something.
- If you don't want to do a huge presentation, at least do a launch post/message in email/Slack/Workplace.
- At Meta, pretty much any project run by a strong tech lead was very visible due to constant communication. This is when they would share a public post about their project:
- Kick-off
- Tech review
- Weekly/bi-weekly updates
- Major milestones being hit
- Launch (this can be split even further into A/B test and full launch)
- Communication is great for alignment. Like in the Meta example above, there's no real downside to communicating a lot about your project. It will help keep people aligned and excited about your work.
