That sounds impressive how were you able to get in a position like What advice would you give

Study. Learn. Do personal projects and work projects, work hard and smart.

The other option is to have a life.

It's important to make a favorable impression on people over time. Do good work, be trustworthy.

High-paid independent consulting gigs are based on a lot of mutual trust. You never know where the best referrals are going to come from, so do right by everyone.
