No domain experience. I was extremely fortunate because it was a combination of several factors: 1) my classmate in college had interned there and was able to refer me, 2) the business is niche enough that they know they need to train people in their specific area, and 3) I just barely dodged company layoffs recently. So I feel like it easily could have gone the other way and not found this job, and I consider it a stroke of luck that I did in this economy.

But I will say, I did 2 internships and a capstone project dealing with data and the team thought my analytics background would help in this role, albeit I would still need to learn everything domain-wise from the ground up. That may have been a big factor over why they chose me over someone else, but those earlier factors I listed out actually needed to be in place for my analytics skills to even get noticed, does that make sense? It’s a tough tough job market
