it's very hard to tell when an individual has solved a problem that otherwise would have taken 5 people to solve... so you'll likely find that it's much easier for big tech to reward people for managing large teams or leading large teams to execute on a project rather than for solving such problems themselves

Forget about being rewarded for being a problem solver in a big corp. Respected: yes. Rewarded: no.
