What is the sexiest job in data right now?
In this episode I talk with Tiffany Valentiny (Data Lead at Trade Republic) about roles and careers in data & analytics.
Key takeaways:
- Analytics engineer might be the sexiest job in data right now. They empower the whole organization to make better use of data.
- Finding good analytics engineers is hard. It can help to give candidates very clear expectations of what that role entails.
- Remote work allows more flexibility in hiring, but might not be ideal for more junior candidates because "learning on the job" is more difficult in this setting.
- Increasing diversity in the team allows for a wider variety of perspectives and ultimately better solutions. And having diversity attracts more diversity.
