> You're definitely more confident in negotiating and counter-offering if you have 10x skill
Not if high performers underrate their skill, and under-performers overestimate their skill, both of which studies suggest is true.
I would speculate that 10x devs' underestimation primarily concerns their percentile ranking relative to peers, not necessarily their absolute skill. Comparing yourself to the likes of Carmack and Wozniak is what pushes you to become cracked in the first place.
