I’ve never worked as an analyst, so I have no real picture of what the job looks like day to day.

What I’m most curious about is how much of your week goes into digging through data to answer a question or track down a problem, compared to everything else you do. I’d also love to hear about a recent problem you only caught because of the data, and how long it had been going on before anyone noticed. And from the outside, I can’t really tell how much of what you find ends up changing decisions versus getting looked at and shelved, so I’d be curious how that goes for you.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time.
