A buzzword I hate is how data is meant to provide "decision support," which in practice means that the data analyst nerds (it me) are pressured to massage their data until it supports whatever decision the highest-paid person in the room already wanted to make in the first place.

Have a serious think about how you’ll define “success” for yourself. Your own criteria, no one else’s. Write it down somewhere so you can remind yourself often.

Yes? I’m old-school, but writing on the board (with chalk—none of that whiteboard crap) is still in my top ten favorite parts of my job.
