What Is a T-Shaped Analyst?

Hiring managers often say they are looking for a T-Shaped person. What they mean is someone who can really contribute in one area, but has the skills, interests and disposition to wear whatever hat is needed to get the job done.

A T-Shaped Data Analyst is someone who has a depth of experience with data analysis, statistics, and data visualization (the vertical part of the “T”), but also pursues other knowledge and skills that leverage their analytical capabilities (the horizontal cross bar). The breadth ensures an analyst's value is fully utilized. As companies are increasingly swimming in data, there is greater need for effective data analysts.
