Any advice on managing up at work? It’s becoming clear to me that senior leadership doesn’t really understand what a data scientist does even though they hired me. I left a more challenging job building and deploying machine learning models for this current role and I’m getting asked to do basic statistics. I have came up with some of my own NLP projects to help the team. I’m just kind of sad at the low level of data science knowledge. Advice on how to plan for the next year?

I would continue to explore what data is available to you at the client or talk to a SME about what data is available. Once you have an understanding, then you can start pitching more projects to your team to pitch to the client. Worked for me.
