Most career data shows that once you reach 125-130 IQ or so, it stops really being a factor in career success, and other things matter more: grit, interpersonal skills, etc.
Being at the 99.9% level is impressive to be sure, but it doesn't seem to translate to much tangible benefit in our current society.

Basically, they tested people from all walks of life and they found that the skill with the highest threshold was about 125-130. People with higher IQs may be able to do or learn things better or faster, but it's possible for anyone to achieve that level if they put in the work. IQ just tells you basically how much work it will take.
