I can think of a couple of times when I wasn’t the best at something, yet still got opportunities simply because someone well-established in that space liked me.

And I can think of the opposite too - situations where I was at a disadvantage because someone higher up just didn’t like me.

For me, it’s more or less balanced at a balance at this point of time. But most people around me, I don’t think they’ve been as lucky.
