Interesting and awesome take. Personally I find that I am 50/50 strategy and technical lead. I’m not directly executing anymore - which I miss - but I’ve had the truly awesome opportunity to grow and shape scientists far far far smarter than myself into great technical assets.

It’s a fun combo of problem solving and story telling. But mostly money.

Because the demand was there. I look at data the way electricians look at wire and junction boxes. As a vet of 20+ years, I find this to be more akin to a trade than some highfalutin’ thing requiring 4-8 years of additional education.

I'm new to marketing and I am not formally educated in it. I have just been learning through experience with the business.

I have an expensive subscription to a reporting database and I am supposed to translate these technical reports into 20-30 slides. I can't figure out if I am overthinking something simple or lacking some knowledge that people formally learn in school.
