If you aren’t a hipo in the first couple of years you never will be. A lot of luck involved. Helps to have family connections. Helps to have gone to the same school as your sponsor. Very little to no tie to merit. Also remember a high ranking doesn’t turn you into a hipo. Not the same thing. Hipos are ranked high but a nobody can also be ranked high. Also the leadership training doesn’t make you a hipo. They have a lot of Mike and mirrors in place to make you have false hope. Some supervisors even lie to people about their ultimate potential to make them feel better about themselves.
