All I'm saying is that most of what you're trying to accomplish relates to getting recognition and that's not guaranteed by simply doing the work - sometimes it's not even predicated on it. This is something that isn't obvious to new and idealistic juniors.
OTOH maybe that's the way it should be - first you work your ass off and get real skills then you learn how to sell but have the skill to back it up.
Also a LOT of people fall in to the trap of thinking just because they perceive something as valuable that it's actually valuable to the employer - zealous juniors learning best practices without knowing how to put them in context wasting time and effort and getting frustrated for not getting recognized even though they "are right" .
