Obviously you also have to work your dick off. Most C Suite people I’ve come in contact with would rather be at the office than catching their alma maters Saturday night game.
This. For everyone that’s just lucky there’s 10 that worked their arse off, were yes men, and were willing to move or take projects that no one else wanted.
Hard work and long hours has made a lot of people “lucky”. Both of those also promote relationships that end up paying off well.
The more people you know the better chance you have of one of them being promoted to eventually promote you.

Not that high but I did ok.. but stayed technical route … I had chief and global in my title … to be completely honest.. a little luck and more than that … the guy above me got pulled up and he pulled me up also.. and so on and so on.. I found most people breaking into upward fast tracks have a sponsor above who also has a sponsor above.. try to find paths like that and work into them..
tbh.. my work ethic and skills were the same for the first half of my career while I moved at a regular rate as opposed the later when things moved quicker..
It is not what you know… but who you know…. Or how you fits into the pie charts.
