You’re reinforcing my point?
At every step, it’s a filtering function.
Of the hundreds who were there at the beginning, who has kept up and continued to grow, without screwing it up?
Who learned the new skills, who figured out the limiting factors and discarded them, vs who didn’t?
Personally, my ratio at the time I left for personal reasons was around 1 in 600ish, depending on how you counted.
I’ve known others that were higher, and a few that were lower.
It’s always less risky for the company to keep someone who continues to work, rather than roll the dice on an unknown quantity, of course, but the filtering mechanism is still harsh, and most don’t pass it.
