No but it’s always nice to kind of have in your back pocket. It would be like a bumper sticker that “adds” 5 hp to your car. I’ve been going on 6 years and haven’t needed to show the alpha of significance or anything.

Mean, median, mode are universal and might be used more often.

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
