Finding an article like this today is both encouraging and disheartening. Now two months since my company folded, I'm trying to parlay broad and nuanced perspectives on data and marketing and their impact on society, along with technical skills, into a new position with the right org.
Five interviews deep into a marketing tech company, I was offered a position as a data engineer. When I sent a counter offer suggesting my 'soft' skills could further enhance my value proposition, they withdrew the offer entirely, saying their organization "couldn't support someone with [my] impressive qualifications."
I know there is a broad need for the combination of technical skill and visionary humanism. I'm getting used to seeing it as a deeply personal challenge, but this call to think of it as an HR challenge that can be eased with incisive use of data was illuminating. Thank you.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. Please reach out to Graham. I'm sure he would be able to help you. Let him know that you found him here, and your challenges.
