My advise is, be like Batman.

Do badass things with discretion but leave subtle clues/indicators behind so your leadership can trace the credit back to you. Eventually they will recognize your worth and consistency in performance. So when more important things start to crop up, they will turn on the bat signal to look for you.

While we are concerned about work life balance, it’s about results not the hours. Are you working extra hours because the team is understaffed? Are you going above and beyond? If you brought this up to me, I’d consider it an issue I need to help resolve (unless it’s a high burn period but not the norm)

That said, I like to think most of the time we know these things since we used to do them too. But it’s always good to remind us in a settle Batman kind of way.
