> and how do you measure that?

That's on a company's performance reviews... and so how do you measure salary increases, bonuses, anything? There shouldn't be a different standard to it.

The only difference is the engineer shouldn't be forced into a different field to get paid more.

> What’s a 10x engineer

It's just an expression I'd say. Can be 2x, 5x, whatever. Most of the time a good engineer is forced into management of some sort (technical or people) before the 2x mark (salary wise).
