My D3 skills are considerably more valuable to the company then my frontend knowledge- but there is no organizational understanding of data viz and no ability to capitalize on the asset. For freelancing- the frustration is being unknown to potential clients and not having the option to tackle difficult projects.,My company is building a BI tool but they are completely closed to researching/pitching/testing/engineering new visualization types for the product.

I can make anything but we only ""need"" the basics.","They don't understand why anyone would want to do visualization all the time- and they absolutely cannot imagine how data viz could be a source of profit on par with frontend or backend. They also believe that data viz is not a ""real"" software engineering focus that will prepare juniors for architect and management positions.",We should have a small budget for funding research- prototyping- and preliminary user testing of experimental visualizations. A data viz team cannot improve an organization if it's constrained to giving clients what they think they want.,"Everyone- thank you for the informative and inspirational pieces describing our industry. There're an incredible number of articles- interviews- podcasts- and meta-visualizations available to anyone interested in the job. That said- please share your negative or difficult data viz career experiences as well. You can be anonymous!
