Overview
Climbing the traditional Career Ladder has long been associated with career progression with the ultimate goal of moving into management. Statistics as a field has grown in prominence, especially in the last few years and with that growth we re-examine whether the traditional Career Ladder is still relevant.
Hear from others in the PSI Community who look to forge their own path in the industry as a Statistician. They will give their own personal views and experiences on creating your own career path.
