Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience here! Feeling challenged every day, feeling good about the impact your work is having around the world, and being able to maintain a healthy work-life balance are three of the most important attributes we hear from candidates, and three areas that I also hold as critical reasons why I personally love my career at Dataminr! I could talk about career paths and growth all day because I feel so passionate about it so I’ll give you a short answer here, but would be happy to grab a coffee and talk more with you anytime! We have spent a lot of time over the past year working to define clear paths for growth within departments and to provide exposure to paths across departments as well. Some of your colleagues have found new opportunities through the mentor program, many of them have attended our quarterly lunch and learns to hear about the amazing work being done across the company, and many more have taken advantage of our individual professional development fund to upskill themselves in critical areas needed for their next step. Sometimes in a smaller, entrepreneurial culture like ours, the best next step is not as obvious because we don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach or career ladder. Let’s talk and figure out the best way to craft your personalized next step!
