How many companies did you talk to before you said, ah, this one feels like it's the right fit on that front? The company that I ended up going to was the first one I talked to. It was a high quality referral from a friend. But in terms of who I talked to, I probably at least like 20 companies or something,. And I really only went through process with four that actually seemed like they were good fits.

You've got some solid experience under your belt, and you're starting to feel like you're ready to move into a data leadership role. What does that even mean? Shifting your keystrokes from SQL to slide decks? Maybe (but maybe not). Katie Bauer, Head of Data at GlossGenius, has held multiple data leadership roles over the course of her career, and she penned a thoughtful post on the various tactics she employed to find a role that is a good fit. She wrote the post so that she wouldn't have to keep repeating herself when data folks in her network reached out for advice. But that didn't stop this podcast from reaching out to record a lively discussion on the topic!
