You work on the right problems at the right time. Everything is a system, companies are no different. Within 6 months at any job you should have mostly everything figured out. In larger companies this can be limited to a certain level. You figure out what people don't want to do but needs to be done and you become efficient at it. Through that process you see how other things are tied together and make associations that others have not. You then see what can be linked together which may also join resources. Automate where you can and all that compounds such that you understand where new things can be fully utilized and articulate good / bad changes. This is essentially working smart not hard. All this puts you in a good spot to make meaningful contributions and changes which makes yourself and everyone else look good. This makes you a team player and "viewed" as essential, for whatever thats worth. You learn the rhythm of the system which then allows you to operate meaningfully. You can take this skill/process anywhere and become a top performer.
