New to comp. C here, my senior just took credit over my work on a meeting with our higher ups. Is this common? What should I do?

Very common. Doesnt mean you have to tolerate it.
I wrote out clearly what I did during my performance review and also told my teammates about what I do, so that at least team on my level have visibility of my achievement. About higher up people, I just flat out told them what I did too. Dont tell them he stole your stuff and didnt give creds to you. Just tell them whoever come across what you did.

Question - did you own end to end of the work? Did you not take any help from your team or guidance from your senior?
I’m not saying what your senior did was correct. They should have acknowledged that the team did it. Unless you did everyone by yourself, don’t say it’s your work. In consulting it’s extremely rare if someone owns 100% of the work.

I had this problem on a project when I was a staff, my effort usually came to light at team meetings when question were asked that my senior couldn't answer. When O got more confident in my work I also began copying my manager on my work submitted to the senior to ensure it was clear I was contributing.

Often times, the partner’s comments validate what I was thinking but I still don’t want to alienate any associates or develop a bad rep.
