Where is ther a place on this planet that doesn't have a pecking order? Yes, engineers that are deemed to be more capable (whether they are or not) or experienced and/or are in the good graces of the organization's leaders get offered better choices than those who are not. If you're lucky, said leaders are themselves competent in identifying capable people and the organization prospers. If you want better choices by an honest route, demonstrate that you're more capable than your colleagues who also want those opportunities, express your interest to your management chain and ask for their guidance in helping get them[1], and make sure you're well enough respected and liked by your colleagues that you won't be shot down when you're under consideration. [1] And if your manager(s) aren't helping in this regard, transfer to another manager or find a new job.
