However, if you hire strong early career engineers, some percentage of them will turn out to have the potential to become those 10Xers. If you can retain them over time, they will grow to lead the game-changing initiatives of your company, being both technically capable and fully embedded in your company’s culture. Those years growing up with you give them an internal network and high baseline of trust that is so critical for success when you’re talking about big technology projects.
