Hi everyone, today I’m answering questions about becoming proficient in experimentation, navigating consulting, positioning yourself for promotion, and handling the frustration of great work going nowhere.

1. How to become proficient with A/B testing

“How can I move from having a basic understanding of A/B testing to becoming proficient in handling edge cases and making decisions? I took a Udemy A/B testing course a while ago, which gave me a solid introduction, but I still feel uncertain when it comes to applying it in practice. Would you recommend Ron Kohavi's Maven course on A/B testing? It’s expensive, but is it worth the investment?”
