Biggest opportunity I've blownNot Alan Partridge tells us: "I was once offered the chance to co-present a programme on national radio. Audience of millions, but blew up spectacularly, my entire contribution being the rustling of paper in the background. I was that bad, I have since burned my copy of the pilot show." Tell us about your big break, and how you messed it up.

I was asked to an interview with a competitor of ours for a job, in the early 2000's.but as they were a mega corp and I have always worked for smaller companies, I politely declined.
Six years later they were bought out by another company, and the staff, who had all been participating in a share buying scheme got to cash in their stakes.
I have no idea what I would have made. The boss guy made over $100 million, and almost immediately retired. I guess I would have made well into 7 figures, by what I heard about other people.
I think the decision I made was right, I would never have hacked it, but fuck me.
