I'm not OP, but I am similar to him in that I cheated/got carried through CS, have produced very little, and now have ~$900k in my 20s.

I'm short, male, not physically attractive, but not overweight. People enjoy having me around on the team; I'm a citizen of the country, so not worried about getting kicked out if I'm canned

I've also never stayed somewhere 2+ years

I almost exited the industry this year, but I'm going to give it another go and perhaps up my productivity.

Well, good on you for getting so far so quickly.

Did you accumulate 900K in wages, options, or through blockchain speculation? Not sure how you could get to 900K so quickly.

Mostly blockchain, with initial capital from wages
