One word: move. I left one job, as it turns out pretty early in my career, because I felt I'd run out of headroom. I'd gotten pretty good at some things, and management very much wanted me to do more of those things. I really really liked the people I worked with, including said management. But I felt like I was always the question answerer. There was nobody I could go to for information or advice. I was stagnating. I went to another company where everyone was significantly senior to me - willingly choosing to be the n00b again. It was scary as hell, but it really helped me grow, and I've never regretted the choice. As it turns out, I worked with some of those people twice more at other companies, so I didn't even miss them for long. BTW this has nothing to do with being "10X" or not. It has more to do with where you are in your own growth vs. what roles are available where you are. If you're in an RPG, but you're level 30 in a level 20 area, it might feel like you're 10X but you're really just in the wrong place. The "10X" idea might in fact be a significant impediment to doing what you need to do. Sometimes you need to go outside your comfort zone to grow.
