Ask HN: How do some people build their careers so fast?
I was browsing LinkedIn out of curiosity and saw a pattern of people that had timelines that go something like this.
1) Graduated Harvard with degree in [random non-business related major]
2) Worked at [random company] as business analyst for 1 year
3) VP / Director at [multi-billion dollar brand name corporation] for 2 years
4) Seed investor at [unicorn tech company]
I'm just generally curious how people are able to climb like that so quickly. Does anyone know people like this and have some insight into how it happened? Are they just wunderkind that get groomed by billionaires or something?
