I’ve been a reliable person at my job and noticed that the most dependable person often becomes the default choice for last-minute fixes and urgent work because they always come through. Over time, that reliability stops being recognized and instead becomes an expectation, while responsibilities pile up faster than compensation. Does being reliable one actually helps with salary growth? I would love to know your experience.

Being reliable does not always help with career growth, I have been in your shoes and gained almost nothing in my salary increase, and that's one of the major lessons I learnt early, so now I try my best to not overwork myself.
