Hello other analyst! Try demonstrating knowledge & helping your team by asking the right questions. I’ve realized that many times the client knows what they want, but just need someone there to prod them and help them along with the right questions.

Obviously don’t ask basic questions about the domain you’re in... but sometimes questions like ‘if we knocked this project out of the park, what would it look like’ or ‘so when you tried that other approach before, why do you think it didn’t work’ can make you look like you kind of know what you’re doing when you know literally nothing

Any insight on negotiating Westlaw or transitioning to lexis?

With a shift in Corporate direction, our comp/bonus/incentive plan had historically been based on overall opportunity booking values. The Corporate shift is to drive more ARR and client migration sales (from legacy products, looking for modernization). With that, the booking values for these are significantly lower than net new deals. Has anyone been involved in a paradigm shift like this and proven that the paid incentives/bonuses end up comparable with more deals at less overall dollar value?

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.

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 currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
