a girl is smiling in front of the camera, not directly looking at it. in front of her is a big cake. the text on her reads, "PM showing off latest features"
just on the left and a little behind is a guy, out of focus, blankly staring at the cake. the text on him reads, "dev getting 0 credit"
Eh, I don't want to present features to stakeholders. It's pretty thankless, in my experience. The real worthwhile merit is in presenting architecture designs and reviews to tech leadership.
I'm not an architect, but I've sat in on architecture presentations and the most rewarding feedback I've seen is "Any objections? Ok, approved".
The rewarding feedback is often during your next compensation review, if you razzle dazzle 'em enough.
When they offer you a 3% uplift, rather than 2% with inflation running higher.
