Just be yourself. It’s the only thing that works.

Seriously, a lot of the advice you might get along those lines is just ridiculous, and often just baseless clickbait. Show up as yourself. That's it. There's a limit, I would say, to how introverted you should be. Obviously it's good to be personable with coworkers and all that. But you don't need to be an over-the-top extrovert to succeed. That's just wrong.

I definitely think you should try being yourself and using your own approach instead of trying to fit into a mold. You can expect someone to change their entire personality in order to fit in at a job.

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
