Its tricky to get credit when your skills are x10 or higher compared to your team. 2 companies ago, a team of 40 engineers took 4 years and $29M to do a generation product update. The next company I worked for took $1M 5 engineers and 2 years (product from scratch). My current company I did the whole thing myself in 14 months (@ < $0.5M), basically on autopilot. Unfortunately, the stakeholders are unaware that they got enormous value by being lucky of hiring the right person for the project. And I still fight management/budget constraits and hot headedness. Almost enough to drive me to next employer.
