💯%, its also worth noting how this mentality permeates the hiring world as well. Go to any job board and you'll see the demand for senior positions dwarf anything else. Naturally these rolls are competitive because the demand outstrips the supply. However, few if any organizations are embracing a system to train and up skill people in this space. Granted there still has to be experience to show from the candidate's part, but a good hiring manager will also recognize other aspects to give these non 1% people a fighting chance.
