Anyone ever feel very lucky in their career? /u/GiantsFan2010 CSCQ protests reddit

I (28M) randomly met someone at my first job that taught me and gave me the confidence to pass FAANG interviews and I was able to get into G after working there for a year. Then I was able to join a team with good opportunities and was able to get L4 within a reasonable amount of time (2 yrs). Then 1.5 yrs later, my TL left the team, and I was given that role even though I’m the youngest and one of the least experienced on the team of 8. And I got promoted again 6 months later. I just find that many things had to go right to get to this level now. Mostly the fact that I was able to join a great team. Really did not think my TC would be $450-500k in my 20s.
