Who you gonna call? Myth-busters 👻 Today, the spotlight’s on our Product Managers. Here’s a look behind the scenes with insights from our dynamic duo, Amie-Rose Long and Vivien Pillet. Do you need a background in tech? Nope. Think a PM’s work is finished when a product is shipped? Wrong again – that’s where the fun starts!
Let’s bust some myths 👻 Today’s topic: Data Analytics. In our latest video, two of our superstar Senior Data Analysts, Kanykei Dordoeva and Agus Figueroa, explain how we do things a differently here. MYTH 1: Analytics is about doing the same thing over and over again. Nope! At GetYourGuide, there’s a lot of room for experimentation. Our methods are always evolving, and every quarter looks different. MYTH 2: Analytics always provides clear answers. Although other teams might expect this, the answers aren’t always clear-cut. But we’re always looking for opportunities to dig further — it’s what keeps things interesting. MYTH 3: Analytics is just about supporting, not leading. Our Data Analysts actively voice their own projects and play a big part in shaping a product’s journey. These roles require leadership skills, proactivity, and the ability to influence decision-making.
