This is a double edged sword:

1. Expectations are vague in analytics work so most people can't tell if you're doing well or not. 2. Expectations are vague in analytics so if you're not delivering magic people will think you're lazy.

I create a lot of reports and dashboards.

Sometimes I make magic, but magic can be difficult to explain/understand, so mostly it's reports and dashboards.
