> Potential is also difficult to spot.

I think that’s true, but I also think that hiring managers rarely try to look for it.

I was on an interview, and one of the reasons I didn’t get the job was because in my current position I manage a “small team.” That team is 5 people. They had 8 people to manage. I understand that each extra person adds extra challenges, but 8 is only a little bigger than 5.
