Being underrated means nobody’s guarding you yet. Use the space.

Low expectations come with freedom. Nobody is studying your tendencies, nobody is preparing for you, and mistakes cost you very little while you are still invisible. That window closes once you are worth watching, and it does not reopen.

Take the risks now that would be scrutinized later: the odd experiment, the direct ask, the thing you are not qualified for yet. Move quickly while the room is looking elsewhere. Being overlooked is uncomfortable, and it is also the cheapest time you will ever have to try things.
