I'm always interested in your career comments particularly at the moment as I'm trying to break into this field. However I think I've got one big problem - age / salary / function.My background is ECommerce - I've been working on WEB sites for 7 years and have introduced WEB Analytics into 2 companies in the UK, both using a product called Speed-Trap which has been very successful in both companies. However I did this whilst working in IT, and I firnly believe not least because the job market in the UK largely indicates it that this is the wrong Dept. to be in for Analytics. Plus I'm 50 and have a salary commensurate with that age.How do you break into the right job market for an Analytics role whilst still requiring that salary level, if the Dept. hiring doesn't fit with your previous experience regardless of your prior knowledge. I'm looking at doing the Blog plus looking at the local companies that use GA. to see if I can help them in a volountary capacity. Any other tips?Many thanks and a MASSIVE thanks for all these fantastic blogs and insightful, enthusiastic writing. Sandy. Hello Avinash,

I got your first book and have just received the second book, safe to say I'm a big fan. I'm always interested in your career comments particularly at the moment as I'm trying to break into this field. However I think I've got one big problem – age / salary / function.

How do you break into the right job market for an Analytics role whilst still requiring that salary level, if the Dept. hiring doesn't fit with your previous experience regardless of your prior knowledge. I'm looking at doing the Blog plus looking at the local companies that use GA. to see if I can help them in a volountary capacity. Any other tips?

Many thanks and a MASSIVE thanks for all these fantastic blogs and insightful, enthusiastic writing. Sandy.
