I think there is a certain skill in being a go-to person in such a way you regularly unblock other people, but also respect your own time and ambitions. Are you constantly being asked how a system works? Take some time to document it, and then answer future questions by just linking to those docs. It's harder up front, but saves you time in the long run, and also mean that come performance review time you can say "I wrote this documentation <link>!" instead of having to vaguely claim that you definitely answered a lot of questions for a lot of people. Of course, some companies don't respect that sort of work. I would struggle to be happy at those places.
