My main tasks during a normal working day are Collecting data from internal and external sources. It is something that I repeat regularly, I feel that I am already an expert.

In my situation it is a bit boring, there are many people in this position, and I am mainly in charge of inventory control, once in a while, I get excited about the monthly sales analysis.

I love what I do, I think I fulfill all the tasks of my position:
data collection from internal and external sources on the factors known to predict or influence demand;
statistical analysis of sales, inventory, and other data;
modeling the data to predict future demand; and
collaboration with suppliers, manufacturers, salespeople, and other stakeholders to gather information on events that could affect demand, such as promotions and production delays.

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!
