I just got a job as a data analyst and honestly i’m kinda lost. i know the basics like sql, excel, a bit of python and power bi, but now that i’m actually in the role i have no idea what to focus on.

for people who’ve been doing this for a while, what skills or habits made the biggest difference for you? what should i be learning or practicing to actually level up?

Hi all! Is anyone here in Underwriting? Just want some thoughts on this as i’ve recently gotten an offer for an Underwriting Associate position and have never done any salary negotiations before. Does it seem unrealistic for my counter offer to be 12k more than the original offer? Considering that the original offer is roughly 8k less than the market salary. Plus i’m also accounting for wiggle room as i’m not expecting them to actually agree with the full 12k counter offer

Anyone know what kind of experience or certifications I should be aiming to get if I'm trying to break into a pentest role? I just graduated last year and have about a year of sysadmin experience and am trying to get into it asap. So, I'm already applying/job hunting and probably won't get much replies but.
