I am in Seattle! It's the only nice time of year here so I am dreading going to the office every day when I could be outside. Fun fact, I am dreading my in-laws coming to visit in a few weeks simply because I also want to ignore them for the outdoors if the weather lasts through September.

Loll maybe they can hang out with you outdoors?? 😅

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be.
