A typical day

Start with messages and a look at whether last night's data pipeline finished. Most of the morning is cleaning and joining data, which is the unglamorous bulk of the job. Midday is a meeting with the product or business team who asked the question, usually to find out that the question they asked is not the question they meant. Afternoon is modeling, or building a chart that answers the real question. You spend more time writing explanations than writing code.
