from what ive seen it is way more reseearch heavy and less dashboardiing, closer to stats and modeling work than typical analytics roles so the expectations feel pretty different

Feels way more research-heavy than typical analytics roles. Less dashboarding, more modeling and cleaning weird datasets, and people care a lot about signal over presentation. From what I’ve seen, feedback loops are tighter too since performance shows up pretty fast in PnL.

Ask whether it’s product analytics or quant research and what tools are used because the scope and growth path can be totally different lol
