English term or phrase: Although pleased to be so popular among my peers,...

It might have ended there; after all, how habit-forming can a single translation be? I soon found out, as other colleagues, researchers in other groups with whom I rarely exchanged a word, heard of the wizard that could transmute one language into another and beat a path to my office asking me to disclose the mysteries of French scientific research. Although pleased to be so popular among my peers, it eventually dawned on me that the service I was providing might be marketable; a simple search of the yellow pages confirmed it. I made a few phone calls, sent out a few—very short—résumés, introduced myself, and waited. The response was not overwhelming, but encouraging nevertheless, insofar as I was working as an engineer at a semiconductor company, and transistors were on the verge of becoming the microcircuits that eventually paved Silicon Valley. The lesson was not lost: language may be the prerequisite, but what they want is specialization.

Although pleased to be so popular among my peers,... 这段话用中国话怎说才恰当？

在同僚中如此受欢迎令我很开心，然而（更令我很开心的是）我最终意识到我当时所提供的服务很可能具有市场价值／前景．匆匆浏览了一下电话黄页更坚定了我的这一信念．

to be so popular among my peers=I am so popular among my peers

I rarely exchanged a word with researchers in other groups结果仍有人找到他，故意识到自己还是很有人缘的，所以pleased.

这是我的理解．
