DEEP DIVE
Nothing too hardcore today. I just want to make mention of the fact that if you are a data practitioner, and you get to a senior level, your duties will more than likely slowly transition from day to day tech work, to work more akin to diplomatic work.

You will need to be able to work with people, understand that people have their fiefdoms to protect, some people are very sensitive, and you will have disparate groups to work with, and get on your side.

I don’t think I am violating any corporate secrets by mentioning this. Just keep these things in mind, while juxtaposing all of the technical things that you need to know to be a successful data practitioner.

I have go now and put on my diplomat hat.
