Is this SOP or did I just get lucky?
Just a side note, with a caveat since I obviously don't know the full context: if this isn't what you want, don't do it. Take control of your life and career, don't let someone else make "promotion" decisions for you.

I actually really like the job and the area itself, the issue is I had no prior experience in it, so I'm figuring it out as I go, which I'm perfectly capable of - but it's harder to get my reports to fake it as well when they are either brand new to the company with no prior experience in this area, or sitting alone in another country and also with no prior experience. Not a recipe for high output.
