I meant in your place of work. It's still generally the case that you won't be picked for flagship projects, but you can get better at finding remaining opportunities than others are.
My personal experience - after nearly 3 years at my current employer working mostly on features and bug fixes for existing big projects, I've found myself at the centre of several greenfield projects that fit my expertise perfectly. I am now one of "the guys" to go to about these exciting long term projects, which is exactly what I was looking for.
