I had a similar experience but with an intern... well, actually two.

One was technically savvy, would go overboard with technical solutions, always had an answer or workaround for everything, and rarely would listen to any advice given. Was probably a 8/10 technical (impressive given his age), but a 0/10 on the want to work with scale.

The other was smart and very humble. He would come to me for mentorship, ask questions, and when nudged in the right direction, answer questions with revelations to himself.

The humble one has gone on to found a business and get his first exit (there will likely be more with him). Last time I checked, the arrogant one has been bouncing around jobs for 15 years.
