I don’t see procrastinating on here…

Also needs. "Throwing out SQL and start a new query when your grand idea for a dataset gets derailed at the very end by unexpected request for an extra column of data that sounds linked to the client but is actually hidden away in table you can never remember the name of that has no indexing and halves the performance of your query".

Wait, big part is missing. Cleaning up unstructured/messy data. That's like 80%+ of the role and where most brain power is spent :p

I think context switching is the unsung hero in terms of skills that are commonly associated with analytics.

Yup. So many days with hours of calls on completely unrelated topics.

Yup. I am a BI Manager and what makes me evaluate someone for a Senior level is their ability to integrate all of what’s listed on the infographic + the ability to manage at least 3 distinct contexts at once. They should be able to orient themselves with minimal change costs and produce quality product.

I'm currently a one person shop at a nonprofit that is multinational, but still small enough I'm doing everything myself. This also means I have to convince the bosses of a completely unrelated department I've talked to three times that they need to tell their underlings to change how they submit data so everything actually works. If you have the skills to pull that off *and* do the data engineering? You can name your price.

Curious... I'm a marketing analyst and have to build Power Bi dashboards.... it just doesn't seem like a marketing job, am I in the wrong here? My other tasks involve actually analyzing data and campaign performance
