For every story like this, there are 20-30 unwritten stories by folks who leapt and fell. Hard.
I can't imagine, as a community, we could support promoting this without giving a stern warning to anyone trying to duplicate this success - this won't usually happen.
Life is not a story, and you are not always the protagonist - things won't just "work out" because you set goals, and worked hard. Just be careful.

This is not comprehensive or universal advice. Nor is it the only way to get a job in this industry. It may not even be relevant any longer, given how much time has passed since I began. Timing may have been critical to some of what I tried. Standard warnings of survivorship bias apply.
