"From my two years of experience as a Data Analyst in the financial industry, the common issues of overlapping data and duplicate entries did come up. But I've found the biggest issue to be the collection and implementation of real-time data to be the biggest hurdle.

"Having some very close contacts already working in the financial field in data analysis, I understand that manual data tracking can be a pain point due solely to the time needed to complete. Being highly educated in automated processes and utilizing machine learning in other industries, I think the knowledge I could bring to the team here at European Investment Bank would help advance your data analysis practices within my first six months on the job."
