Yeah, I also have made the "right move" industry or tech-wise but for the wrong reason (I'm assuming being in advanced networking worked out pretty well anyway for you). It's always funny when someone asks me "So how did you know so far ahead of everyone else [that (my startup's product) would launch (category)]", and I tell them it's because we were inexperienced and didn't fully understand the market, so we guessed based on assumptions which turned out to be wrong. I try to always fess up to the fact that success in tech startups is a combination of insanely hard work, being (mostly) smart, luck, and being stubborn enough to keep trying again after failing until your luck turns.
