Don't forget getting the interview.

I've got the right column on lock. I've never had an interview that wasn't followed by an offer. But I was still stuck in a dead-end job for years trying to get an interview.

Once I finally got an interview adjacent to my field, I was promoted within 6 months, then poached by another organization a year after that and had quadrupled my income in under 2 years.

But it took forever to get that process started.
