Episode notes

There was not an equivalent role to what I was doing. The company's planning on growing a lot next year and measurement is a big part of making sure that you're doing that in a financially responsible way. They had hired analysts in a bunch of random places across the organization and they weren't talking to each other. Mo, going back to something you said about sort of like the criteria you've been selecting and thinking about, I think your criteria gets additive as well.

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!
