This resonates. I've moved from data engineering into sales engineering. The variety of problems is fun, albeit the context switching with Account Execs that don't respect my calendar is... something.
A lot of my previous data work was someone saying "show me what's interesting"... "no, not that- something else"... "huh, this doesn't jive with my gut, start over".
Bringing _value_ out of data sciene / engineering is incredibly hard. You have to have the engineering skills as baseline, but I firmly believe everyone undervalues the amount of work to "sell" your analysis to less technical folks in a way that's inline with the needs of the org. It's incredibly difficult.
