dnt hasitat to take credit for bugs also.. Managers r well aware abt this situation.. n they will test u in that scenario as well like how smoothly u manage that.

In some scenarios managers will give credit to their favorite employees for some excellent work n in case of bugs they will blame u then just consider u can't stay there for long time 😁

When you start working on something, make sure every important detail or completion is being logged somewhere (mail/jira) and you are highlighting it. Keep sending EOD updates to stakeholders to ensure you have a visibility.

If still that doesn't work for you take a call with your manager and highlight that it's not working for you. If manager refuses to listen then senior manager it is. Because if this keeps on happening you will be affected during appraisals.

I have been in a similar situation. In the team meeting my colleague started discussing this thing I did as his achievement. What I did was to wait for him to complete. And this is what I told him, " Thanks for bringing this up X, while we are on the topic, I would like to thank X and Y and Z for their support during the development of this feature. I really appreciate the support from the team and it wouldn't have been possible without all your support". And by then everyone knew who's who.😎
I could hear my manager giggling 🤣

My manager used to keep bringing up my volumes, saying I don’t do enough. Although they were in par with everyone else. And if I did do some high volumes he ignored it. One day.. I messaged him asking how are you and all? And then pointedly asked him if he saw my volumes 😂 he said he saw it and it was really good. Sometimes get shameless and point it out

I would say it's not how you see it... First problem is at your end that you are disclosing it to the person, how you did that.Now when that person knows the process and also an expert or have handled previously same situation. he/she would definitely take a chance to prove he is the best. So, stop disclosing everything to him/her and keep something with you so atleast when presenting he needs your help in explaining..it... is so simple..Try this trick

First know your strength which no other team member can show, and delay few of them purposefully. Manager will recognise and ask you the reason, just tell them your doing hard to fix or resolve or develop them. Finish after it then.

Mail the status and also in-person to your manager after finishing.

Currently making ~$300K TC in a strategy role. Was just offered a different role (account manager) in the same company with a slight increase in base salary and a 50% TC increase if I hit sales target (even base case would be ~30% increase in TC).

Have never really considered account management / anything with a sales target, but I like money.

Thoughts? Things I should consider?
