Do many of you upskill/study outside of work? I mean in relation to your position as a data person, not as a part time student of another discipline. If yes, how much time do you devote to it?

Outside of degrees or certs, if you want to remain relevant you have to know what’s out there. The landscape changes and we can quickly become obsolete without the right knowledge or skill sets. I read every day blogs and journals, as well as follow certain leaders in industry. It’s hard to sell someone on a product they no longer need.
