Has it ever happened that someone who was at a postdoc level for an extended period of time, say 5-8 years, was able to successfully transition to industry?

Note, I am asking this in an autism sub because in the autistic community there are a lot of well educated people with advanced degrees working various jobs.

And also because, as I mentioned before, the path I have taken, I believe, was in part because of the autism I have and the unique challenges I have had in terms of navigating professional worlds, making connections and finding out the right opportunities at the right time. I feel I may need to be able to explain this in a way that doesn't make me look problematic, too much like an underachiever or someone who can't figure out when to leave.

As I have mentioned before, and as shown with this CV , for a variety of reasons I ended up doing 7 years worth of postdocs after my PhD with an intermediate phase in between them.

Some responses about it in other threads have been encouraging and others have said that this long as a postdoc has more or less destroyed my career prospects even if I have done projects published in major journals using real world data. And so I should give up looking.

In light of that, I was wondering, have there been cases of PhDs who stayed at the postdoc level for similar lengths of time as I have who have transitioned to either industry or other rewarding, worthwhile work, either inside or outside academia? I was wondering if there is a precedent for this too.
