Day to Day
I'm constantly reviewing data, and trying to make sense of it - or make it useful for others. Sometimes, that data is in a large set of reports about thousands of data points, and sometimes that data is deeply connected to just one account, risk, or customer. But, at the end of the day, my ability to understand the origins of the data (and often the decisions that led to an outcome) are what make my day interesting and fun.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for everyone
Network, network, network. Find people in the industry and get to know them, but MORE IMPORTANTLY their companies through their eyes. Ask lots of questions about the people that work there, and how they enjoy it or don't. If someone always talks about how busy they are and how they have no life...that's not the company you want to work for. Find a firm with progressive time off, flexible work arrangements, and a PENSION! That's right, some of us still have pensions in addition to a 401k! #TRV
