I love how systematically you have kind of worked through this process. So one question I want to ask is what skills did you find yourself kind of developing or working on as you went through this process? Like was there anything that stood out to you? Yeah, that's a good question. I think maybe something that I became increasingly comfortable with over the course of many interviews was just being very honest about what I was looking for and not feeling bad about telling people like I don't think this is the role for me.

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!
