Your first 90 days as an analyst
After this you can plan your first three months: learn the business and its data, build relationships and deliver an early win.
Why it matters
Your first months decide your reputation. Learn how the business makes money and which metrics leadership watches. Find out where the data's known problems are before you present any number. Meet your main stakeholders and ask what decisions they struggle with. Deliver one small, correct, useful analysis early, and be scrupulous about accuracy; one wrong number in month one costs more trust than ten right ones earn.
