Being in the Data Space is particularly exciting, no matter which part you're working in - Business Intelligence or Data Management. Every part of a company - the marketing team, financial analysts, legal team and all other important people get value from Data. The beautiful part about Data Management, Meta Data and Reference data is that the SAME Data can be a part of the solution over different problems in an organization. Data as an asset gains value by the amount of times it is re-used!

As a Data Scientist, don't just interact with other Data people. Go talk to business owners, figure out what problems need to be solved. Every organization has problems and Data Management is the foundation for approaching them efficiently.
