I don't know the specifics of your situation so my suggestion may or may not be applicable.
That said I would suggest you spend your own time trying to solve some difficult problem that your team faces or designing or prototyping a solution for some complex software component your team needs. If you succeed that should earn you more respect for your technical abilities.
This has worked for me in the past. Once you get to a more senior role though I'd be careful of making a habit of it or you may get taken advantage of.
- askaquestion 9y agoThat's a great suggestion. Thank you for taking the time to reply. So far I haven't been successful in picking projects that I could meaningfully contribute to. Also worth noting that most low hanging fruits are solved so the open problems are either really hairy or undiscovered.
