Hahaha

I would say extremely. The tools are just getting more and more powerful. I recently switched to industry (Corp strategy) and data visualization is core to literally everything my team does. Those that don’t know data don’t get data. If you don’t get data you’re screwed.

I think having some Power BI or python packages under your belt for data visualization is great but I would make it your expertise. Making dashboards and cleaning data is boring after a while and I wouldn’t be surprised if it all becomes automated in the future

Even if your job is modeling or research, none of it exists in a vacuum. Decent data viz skills are very important for getting buy-in for your results.

True that, but just curious what is the market for this skill in today's market, given that cloud and other technologies are getting more popular

"cloud and other technologies" make data visualization even more valuable. Data availability is still ever increasing, so being able to intelligently analyze, interpret, and present insights (i.e. visualization) is pretty much mandatory. Not everyone needs to be an expert, but it's definitely useful to have some proficiency in data visualization.

Does higher vault ranking (v10-30 compared to v80-100) open more doors for corporate in-house opportunities for a senior associate? If chambers practice area rankings and expected billable hours are similar and they offer the same DPW pay scale, does it matter less? Is it better to stay at/lateral to a firm where you might be able last longer to learn the necessary skills? Any personal anecdote or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone. Wanted to get your thoughts on this situation. I was in an extremely toxic relationship with a narcissist for over 10 years.

All of this trauma resulted in extreme depression and anxiety especially in regards to romantic relationships (I now know I have an anxious attachment style). Continued below..
