What do you look for when hiring for your analytics team?

If you could, add what the kind of work done in the team is, and any hard and soft skills that candidate analysts would need.

Sorry to see there haven’t been any responses to this question! The most important skill for hiring analysts is identifying is effectiveness at interacting with stakeholders to define the right solution and refine appropriate requirements. I think some effective questions to screen for aptitude for these skills is asking the candidate to describe projects they have worked on as well as what are some effective questions or examples they have for refining and guiding solutions. After these skills comes analytical skills such as scripting languages applicable to the role and analytics process such as retention, churn, regression, forecasting- typically evaluated through a technical assessment. Last is experience with various data sources; lake, warehouse, steaming structures; data modeling; data management; and specific applications. I’ll follow up with some resource links on more thoughts on building teams. Many startups are now just using fivetran and looker while having their first hire be someone (call them an Analytics Engineer or Data Lead) that can deliver values from these prior to hiring for additional analysts or engineers.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Is the MBB name really worth it over Big4, T2, Boutiques in terms of exit opps?

Would love to hear from experienced hires who have insight into both types of exits (MBB vs other) to better comp and wlb (tech is ideal but any industry works).

I know type of case work factors heavily into opportunities but how much does the MBB name really open? Is that name recognition worth leveling down to grind for another few years?

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.
