I heard about a very incompetent engineer at the start of my career. Always asking dumb questions. Asking other people to create "sample projects" for her. She is now a principal PM manager where I work now. She has no idea I know her from our prior company 20 years ago, but surely it is the same person. You do not get to that level without what it takes.
