What exactly is the role of an analyst? Is it similar to an account person, except you don't have to deal with clients? ...Or is it analyzing data? I've heard both.

😀 hmm it's a bit of both . We deal with clients but on more of a aftermath. No client is going to rip me to shreds for buying crappy media. However a client will try to abuse the allocation percent and stretch the fuck out of scope. Yea we analyze data, make predictions based on trends, etc etc. pretty much we are a safety net 😊

They're like scientists without the science. Or doctors without the medicine.

Also they're known as very "handsy."

Analytics tell you what you should have done after you already did it. They are at best a post mortem, but without the medical learnings because every 'patient' is a different circumstantial beast.

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated. Over the past year I’ve probably applied to at least 100 jobs and I’ve been on 8 different interviews all with no offer. I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.

I have offers from both United Health Group and Atlassian for a Senior Financial Analyst position. Similar Comp (Atlassian slightly higher due to stock options).

In the long term, does Atlassian look better on a resume/work experience due to the Tech/Software space? Seems like their culture is great, but a much higher work load due to the nature of the company. Thanks! Happy to answer DM's too
