>>And do you think individual contributors have access to that kind of metric? This actually goes back to a piece of career advice I read about a decade ago and was able to make use of to significantly boost my income: when picking projects or teams, try to move close to those that directly affect the company's bottom line. You'll have much better success when asking for raises and promotions because it'll be a lot easier to show the impact of your work (or at least have access to people who can pull up those numbers/reports for you, if you have been nice to them).
