I don't exactly understand why this is getting downvoted, I'm genuinely curious if companies have published anything on that.

Also for me, it _is_ counter-intuitive, since DP was one of the hardest things for me when I started with programming, and I'd at least expect a non-trivial correlation between being good at DP and job performance, that's why I was asking about where I can read more about this.
