What is your biggest challenge in your current role?
I experienced this at my previous company as well. Data analytics and reporting often come with a high volume of work, and that's honestly something that can be challenging to manage.
I do have tight deadlines and have to get things out quickly so that we can meet them. I often want to have a little more time to do my analysis and tell the best story, but sometimes we don't have that time.
Time management can be a huge challenge with all the volume of work and all the deadlines we have. But at the end of the day, I feel like it's quality over quantity.
Making sure that we manage those deadlines appropriately so that we're getting the highest quality of work out is really important to me. Taking time to do a thorough analysis is important, and being able to still have fun with it, of course.
