Talent gets you noticed. Work gets you kept.

Ability opens the door and almost nothing after that. Once you are inside, what people need is somebody who turns up, does what they said, and holds steady when the work is dull, because dull is most of what any job or team consists of. The impressive part gets you the chance, and the unglamorous part is what makes them want you there a year later.

When you land something on ability, assume that is the last time it carries you. Be early, finish things, follow up until reliability is the reason they keep you.
