Some roles at companies interact with many more people in the company than other do; if you're competent and not a jackass you'll be well-regarded in them. Shit at one job for a while part of our onboarding process for everyone was to spend half a day sort of pair programming through the technical details of how the platform worked. I used to teach programming, am good at pairing, and am nice in real life, so I did almost every one of those. If you asked anyone outside of eng for a list of best engineers I'd be near the top, because I was one engineer everyone had had a positive technical interaction with. I eventually got, correctly, fired from that job for underperforming! No one could believe it! Except every engineer I worked with, but that was only 1/4 of the company. The rest were baffled.
