Reply to comment by tristanjones in [OC] 2 Years Of Applications And Employment - It's Getting Weird Out There by eatstoothpicks

I agree on most points. AI and ML are definitely considered "nice to have". The funny thing is if a company has a reasonably good core analytics implementation, they're more able to see problems coming and adjust for things in advance. Sadly, most companies don't have good core analytics and so aren't well-armed against the ridiculousness of modern life.

I definitely wish companies did a better job of prioritizing and investing in their ability to Learn using analytics but the few companies that have made a point to do that are the same ones doing layoffs right now. Sooo..

I've worked for two major analytics software companies and I can for sure say they don't drink their own Kool-Aid when it comes to have a sound Analytics practice. I have also found most analytics professionals (and those leading them) a bit short-sighted and very siloed in their own data. I wish companies in general did a better job of understanding just what and how much they can see with a good Analytics practice. Unfortunately I usually see a bunch of office politics playing havoc with what and how the data should be presented with very little regard to what actually is.
