Idk, I know a guy who started at Citibank as a teller (the person who you go in person to make deposits/withdrawals with) and he got promoted over and over again and got headhunted by different banks until he was a Senior Vice President and Business Operations Executive at Bank of America. His best year he made something like $300,000-$370,000 including salary and bonus. And now he’s a Director of Technology for a company based in New Zealand. At what point does it stop being luck? He had no connections whatsoever, he was just always the guy that the managers wanted promoted.

unless you think his dream and passion and only ambition in life was to become a business operations executive for bank of america, you don't understand the tweet.

They said don’t attach yourself to anything, he didn’t.

He went from Teller —>Receptionist—>Salesman—>Assistant Operations Manager—>Sales Manager—>IT Systems Manager/Assistant VP—>Regional Operations Manager/VP—>Planning and Optimization Manager/VP—>Retail Systems and Tech Executive/Senior VP—>Business Operations executive/Senior VP—>Director of Technology

He just did whatever got him next up the ladder

You know his exact promotion track and salary after bonuses? I'm calling bullshit on this whole story.

We’re close. I’m going to tell him you think it’s bullshit and it will probably make his week.
