It Just Happened

I don't really know how I got here. One day I was working on Pied Piper stuff, next thing I know I'm running an entire division at Hooli.

The Promotions

Every time I thought I was going to get fired, they promoted me instead. It's been... weird.

What I've Learned

Sometimes the best career strategy is just showing up and not making waves. Also, having good timing helps.

Current Role

I'm now Head of Hooli XYZ. I still don't really know what we do, but everyone seems happy with my leadership.

Just keep failing upward, I guess?

Bighead, your career trajectory defies all logic and fairness.

This is infuriating. You stumbled into a VP position at Hooli by literally doing nothing. I work 80 hour weeks and I report to Richard.

Thanks guys! I'm just trying to do my best!
