I collated and organized what I shared across multiple conversations on job searching. Before I get started: Yes, the market sucks. Yes, everyone’s situation is different. Yes, it is possible that what I am about to share may come from a place of privilege that I am unaware of. The goal of this post is to help inspire some ideas in those currently in the market and looking.

As a result of all the 1:1 conversations I have had, I had a chance to reflect on what advice I would give myself when I first started in People Analytics. This article is dedicated to the top 5 things I know now that I would like to be able to tell myself back then.

This is a Hard-Lessons-I-Have-Learned-So-You-Don’t-Have-To and Nobody-Will-Say-This-Out-Loud-In-The-Workplace kind of article.
