I've experienced this. It'd be nice to hear from the counter example here, the 10x developers in meritocratic nests. Mostly so we know where they are.

- throw4950sh06 2y agoHere I am, hired as a team lead, got to a VP of Eng. in 2 years during which I fixed (initiated and led the projects, didn't code myself) many long standing issues with the company's engineering organization and the product itself. I was a director before this job, though at a smaller company. It's a 200-person startup.
- curtisblaine 2y agoI'm kind of an high performer and it's not so simple. The first thing is that you need to flight under the radar most of the time. It doesn't pay to do 10x all the time (and realistically you can't constantly in all facets of your job), you need to do 1.5x most of the time and then do 10x when it's most needed and most clear to everyone that you just saved the day. The second thing is that I never said no to more money. It's a job, your boss and colleagues are people who work with you. Occasionally they can become friends but not automatically and not most of the time.
