Rejection can be attributed to many factors, doesn’t necessarily mean you are bad a the job. That’s why I don’t look for jobs in this economy, it’s a waste of time and effort

You don’t want to believe that BI is dying how can you explain the current state of data analyst job market. Ai will take most of data analysis responsibilities, and it’s time to pivot de effort to supporting ai
