What do you enjoy most about being in this industry?
What do you enjoy most about being in this industry?
I think the biggest thing for me is when a stakeholder is happy with the solution. This could be a dashboard, an advanced Excel file, or a data issue that you've fixed.
When a stakeholder is happy with what the solution has become and what they are using, that's my favorite part of the job. We are really providing solutions to businesses that probably never had experience with data before.
Now they get to experience data visualization tools and become more data-centric, making data-driven decisions. To me, that's the most rewarding part of this job.
