Dave has been doing analytics since the 1990s, and frankly very little of it is relevant to how we do analytics in 2026.  When I hire people I don’t look for people with a lot of experience – they tend to also have a ton of baggage that I do NOT want.  What I want is a person with critical thinking skills, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to learn the latest technology quickly.  Move fast - break things.
