Yes, when I hire new people in Machine Learning they are uniformly surprised by how little time they spend modelling and how much time is spent gathering business requirements, refining what needs to be optimized, cleaning the incoming data, thinking about edge cases and so on.

This blows my mind. How does one get the skills to do ML without spending an infinitude of time cleaning data? Like the other stuff makes sense (general business process), but the lack of understanding around cleaning data from many juniors just stuns me.
