A lot of problems that data people encounter, I think are a consequence of their job not being taken seriously enough. So many people do data analysis, but analysts are better at analysis and like they've seen is better at analysis than other people that they work with. And so it's tricky because we haven't developed as an industry far enough to sort of give people sort of like your title means these things in corporate America.

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!
