Age 42, year 1 data analyst (survival) blog. Interesting or useful?
In two weeks, I'm starting a new job as a data analyst at a Silicon Valley startup.
I spent my previous careers in product and program management focused on data infrastructure. I went back for a master's to switch careers as a data analyst (or scientist), and finally landed the role I wanted.
It's going to be an interesting journey, switching careers in my 40s into a profession that's quickly being taken over by AI. I'm confident in this career switch, but only if I can consistently provide value beyond what AI can. That's also what makes it exciting.
My question to the group: would you be interested if I documented this journey/survival in a blog?
It wouldn't be another "how to become a data analyst" guide. It would be more like: "Here's what I'm trying," "Here's why I made this decision," or "Here's what failed and what I learned." It will not be anonymous.
If that sounds interesting, give me a thumbs up. And if you have time, I'd love to hear what kind of content you'd actually want to read.
Thank you!
