Do other coworkers do this? How do they share it? Is your boss the kind of person who gives positive feedback anyway? Do you have annual reviews where you self assess your progress at work?

Thanks!
I had a recruiter once tell me that we all need to do our own “grandstanding” at work, as she put it. Meaning, let the higher ups know of your successes. And yes, it’s encouraged to share any success stories in our company meetings. I just got very humble and shy about it.
My boss does give positive feedback. But at the same time, he did not inform the CEO of my first major success with this client. It just makes me a bit skeptical and wary, especially since he himself has worked on this client account trying to resolve their challenges without much luck.
