Drawing upon the theory of career capital, this study employs large language models (LLMs) and K-prototypes clustering to analyze 118 corporate tech leading talents. Four distinct talent profiles are identified: practical exploration-oriented, organizational development-focused, value-driven visionary, and scientific innovation-emergent. This study reveals their intertwined internal-external growth logic characterized by “environmental cultivation, latent trait activation, and capability emergence,” while delineating differential configurations and diversified developmental trajectories across profiles. The findings highlight that patriotic aspiration as goal orientation and research excellence as competency foundation constitute universal success determinants across all configurations.
