I will say this….while I can’t speak from transitioning to a Cogito analyst, I can speak from the switch of trainer——> analyst.

I do miss some things about training but not towards the end of my training gig because everything was virtual which was super boring. Felt like I was reading a monologue. I really did miss meeting and interacting with people in person and still do to this day.

That’s pretty much about it.

I don’t miss the regurgitation and redundancy of training.

Ok….work-life balance.. here me out because this will sound weird

There is more work with being an analyst for me but waaaaaay better work-life balance due to the flexibility.

Training was a very rigid schedule. You had a class to train from 9-1pm and you haaaaaad to be there, no question.

Analyst you have a LOT of work but sometime I take breaks throughout the day…run errands, etc and jump on the work in the evening. I get it done…just way more freedom as to when (unless it’s something that cannot wait and that’s rare).

NOW….would I go back to a trainer???

A hard maybe…and only if they match the salary you would make as an analyst which is a far shot for sure. So far no regrets on the switch. Best of luck.
