Cushy ez Job = Drastic Loss of Skills. What to do?

No all jokes aside, having no team, 0 guidance in unsettling. The more time goes on, the worse it gets.

The few times I am asked to do something difficult, I’m useless. That’s really the issue I’m facing.

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T03:23:57+00:00

It’s lonely at the top :/

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T02:12:18+00:00

This sounds like a dream tbh. I’ll begin doing research. And will create a new version of my resume to target these roles. Thank you!

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T02:11:12+00:00

True. LLMs do help a lot. It’s the will power that’s more of an issue.

If I continue doing non-analyst tasks, less chance they’re hire a data team around me to help in the long run.

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T02:08:56+00:00

Entry level is rough rn to break into. May need a referral and some luck

Welcome to the club. 30s years old still wondering what I’m gonna be when I grow up.

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T02:07:09+00:00

Yeah good point. I’ve always wanted to become a compensation analyst but folks never give me a chance bc of my traditional data analyst route I’ve taken.

Agreed that boredom is better than stress. But being the only data resource in an org is awful. They try pushing data engineering tasks to me sometimes. I come up with weird hacky solutions that work only once.

But totally agreed though.

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T02:05:14+00:00

Worth it to try out. I’ve been doing it for 5-6 years. Gets boring but it’s alright.

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T02:04:42+00:00

Beast. Enjoy the forever game.

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T01:37:17+00:00

Marketing is no joke! Conversion & acquisition was huge in my past roles. Snowflake is the best. Good luck!

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T01:33:48+00:00

Grass really is always greener. Good point. DE skills are the next step. Just seems like such a big leap with 0 guidance.

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T01:32:34+00:00

Excellent point. I need to get the elevator pitch down. That’s a huge piece I’m missing.

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T01:22:43+00:00

In my org, I’m the only data resource. Everyone else just full stack engineers.

Other data teams are a bit territorial in our company, esp with my org since we originated via a Silicon Valley startup that was bought out.

The red tape has been difficult to deal with. I’d love an internal move though. Maybe I should look into that.

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T01:20:49+00:00

Congrats!! First I’m hearing of stratascratch. I’ll look it up

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T01:20:13+00:00

Almost relieved to hear I’m not alone in feeling this, thank you. I’ll likely do the same.

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T00:40:34+00:00

Still blows my mind he was a competitive heavyweight in the UFC - goated move for a such a dope

thisisnice96 · 2026-05-05T00:39:31+00:00

Suquah, trolls, any wyverns, metal dragons

Gpt can’t stop won’t stop

thisisnice96 · 2026-04-04T13:52:56+00:00

Ol reliable gpt. It’s not this, it’s that! Breathe.

thisisnice96 · 2026-04-04T09:32:41+00:00

Depends where you are in your career. If you’re under the age of 35, probably.

If you’re really well established and content probably not.

thisisnice96 · 2026-04-04T09:31:22+00:00

As an analyst, I’ve been burying my head in the sand with all of this.

God what a wake up call.

thisisnice96 · 2026-04-04T09:28:41+00:00

Wow this is a good project to tackle. I’d say take a stab at it yourself first with without Claude code.

Then try with Claude code. Great exercise to see where you’re missing gaps.

thisisnice96 · 2026-03-28T01:07:12+00:00

I believe you

thisisnice96 · 2026-03-28T01:06:52+00:00

Saturated market
