Sorry for the weird title as there’s a rule that doesn’t allow the world “title” in the title but I think that applies to a different context.
Just looking for some advice on things to say to my boss today regarding this topic. This is my first job out of college and first non restaurant job.
Some context is that my current job title is data entry specialist and I was hired in June last year but I’ve been doing the job of a data analyst for months. I work for a supplement manufacturer.
I’ve taken time to learn the a lot of the skills a data analysts has and have self taught everything while on the job through YouTube. I’ve completely changed the way my company reports their production numbers with an interactive report using PowerBI that my boss, area supervisors and the ceo look at. I’ve setup a database structure to make the data entry for supervisors easier and in a way to easily move their entries to my current database that feeds my BI report.
In an atypical antiwork fashion my boss is actually pretty great. I have a lot of freedom and trust and thinks I do a great job. I currently make 40k a year with a bachelors degree in business. The average data analyst in the us makes 73k and PowerBI developer makes 87k a year so I’m trying to be in this range.
I already booked a meeting for later today because she wanted to go over a new report for me to make and was going to add this to the end of that conversation. This also shouldn’t be too much of a shock to her as my coworker I work closely with had already told her that my job title doesn’t make sense and match what I do.
Any advice on how to spin this is appreciated.
