I made the jump in 2021, what specifically do you want to learn more about?

How big is your team? What's your role? How's the work life balance? What tools and technology do you use generally in your role? Did you work in life science in consulting before making the move?

OP - were you doing data analytics in consulting as well? I mean essentially part of tech consulting?

Yeah I'm right now doing data analytics in consulting. Expertise include SQL, Alteryx, Tableau etc.

I went to work for a pharmacy company in 2020 leading an analytics team and I love it. What questions do you have OP?

Thank you. This is helpful. I have experience with SQL, Alteryx, Tableau, Power Bi etc I am finding it hard to find the right roles, the job title seems confusing. Any tips there?
