Got a call from the @officialreds.bsky.social Midwest Scout offering me a job as an associate scout just based on word of mouth! We’d never met! Still working for him 15 years later!

What's the moment of luck that's had the biggest impact for your academic career? For me, it was how I wouldn't have gotten a PhD fellowship if it wasn't for the 1st-ranked person declining, which meant that I was awarded the fellowship as 2nd-ranked applicant. That was my last shot at a PhD.
