Hey Olga, this is a great read. You perfectly highlight the gap between academic theory and practical applicaton in data science, especially those meta-skills like analytical intuition and impactful delivery.
The section on critical thinking was a helpful reminder that not everything in data work is strictly technical. I would add that, for many analysts, no one is teaching other “soft skills” like technical communication, which has been on my mind. https://dataxdesign.substack.com/p/why-data-analysts-should-study-technical
