Who thrives in industry?
How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
I think in consumer technology specifically, it's probably being able to be analytical and creative at the same time. No matter what role you're in, you're going to have to look at data, write code, or come up with new features.
You'll even need to create a business strategy. I think all of that requires being able to look at numbers and be analytical, but then also be very creative in how you're going to solve problems.
So, I think having a balance of those two skills would be really helpful for you to thrive.
