I am lucky to have found a very analytical role, and that I get to work with colleagues and manager that really knows their stuff and now I actually have an industry I can develop on (something I didn't have before). The issue is that after almost a year I feel that I know nothing of our business in a high level (strategy and operational). My manager told me to be curious and I was, but I might have misinterpreted and focused mostly on improving, automating and standardizing our reporting rather than actual business knowledge. To be fair that was my main job coming as an intern and then being the new guy and we have over 20 services that span over 30 countries, my team doesn't specially on any country or region but rather we are in charge of the global view of all the services and monitoring. Most of the advanced analysis were being done by my senior colleagues and manager as it's requested from the director or high managers and it's always urgent. So in a way it was easier for them to do it than teach me, or let me do it myself (slowly). There is also 0 margin of error and when presenting to the director as you need to have all the facts (direct and indirect info). My manager is expecting me to step in more and I am grateful for the opportunity. But I am also terrified. I can do any analysis I am asked but I am slow, while I try to finish an analysis that takes me half a day, my colleagues and manager are doing 3 different ones in parallel with meetings in between. So it makes me feel bad, I know with time I will have more experience and will know how to do them faster. But these past 2 weeks I get the feeling I was so busy, but when I reflect back I feel I didn't do any important. A lot of adhoc requests and when I had the chance to work on a complex analysis I had to ask my colleague for help because I was doing my routine monthly reports. What really scares me is that I feel I will never grasp the business as well as them. My previous experience was more of a general support service so didn't have one industry to really learn from. Now I have to keep track of our business and even know competitors. My colleagues and manager are more of the quick thinking and make connections from many angles. Whereas I am more slow, I need to lay everything out and even then cannot make the same connections. Again, I can do any of the analysis but for some reason things don't stick in my head. Is like numbers are just numbers and have no meaning. So question is how did you transition from just reporting to actually having impact in the business? how do you make things connect and how do you keep track of everything that goes around? I really like the job, company, industry and my colleagues, my manager also is very supportive and tries to give me the platform to grow, so I really want to do better and reach their level.
