I finally blocked focus time on my calendar.
Within 15 minutes, someone booked over it.
Twice.
Now I’m in meetings discussing how I need more time to do the work.

How do you protect focus when the calendar’s out for blood?

Decline.

Yeah, I could, but being on probation, it concerns me

Nothing new there for me! I decline when possible, but sometimes your manager or their management pay no mind to their subordinate’s calendars and you have to drop everything for them.

Yeah, it happens with me all the time. They would want you to be available for their invite, but keep it as optional when you invite 🤷🏻‍♂️

Decline it, you have a conflict.

I just say I have a conflict

Could someone help me break down the differences between a Data Analyst vs Data Scientist vs Product Manager? And add any pros/cons from personal experience? In my mind they’re all related, but I don’t have experience working with any of these roles.

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
