I think good things happen to those who catch the opportunity.
So mine was around 5 years ago when I was recommended by one of the top managers at the company I worked at to a startup.
A meeting which supposed to be an 15-20 minutes max turned into 1,5 hour conversation about marketing and ended up with a 5X offer of what I've earned at that time.
That was a really life changing experience where I've learned a lot and brought extra 1mln USD ARR over 2 next years. It also kickstarted my marketing consultant freelance business.
