👉 Léo hey, thanks for following me. I just signed up for this thing and am a bit lost. I see you are a statistician, what does that mean in practice?
🦄 Chip Uni In practice? It's not what I expected. The companies that wanted a statistician really wanted people who know databases well, and to find information quickly. I'm occasionally using my statistical knowledge to guide A|B testing, to tell whether the info I give means anything... but very few people realize what deep statistical knowledge means.

👉 Léo I can hardly imagine the amount of misunderstanding and entitled know-it-alls that you have to deal with. I hope you find an employer that values your knowledge and insight. I am a graduate student doing research in mechatronics with applications to rehabilitation devices. We use A-B testing to demonstrate that our interventions work. (I hope this is the same A-B testing you were referring to). Anyways, I am happy to meet you. Have a good rest of your weekend.

🦄 Chip Uni Well, I need to be humble, too. Although I know statistics very well, I do not have the business knowledge that the executives have. Statistics has deep limits, too. In November 2019, I estimated about our company's future number of users... but the coronavirus utterly ruined the predictions.
