Title. I have a great brain for the game and really feel like my input/analysis and experience could be helpful anywhere. It is my dream to do this. How/where do I start?
some teams do applications when a spot opens up
otherwise I'd try maybe to start with a premier team / other tier 3-4 talent since you'll likely only get hired if you have experience
also as others have mentioned its very important to document and advertise your achievements, you have to market yourself
Build up a portfolio of your analyses. Videos, essays, blogs, etc. Make sure your portfolio is easily accessible so that if you apply to an org or team, they can see your work and get a sense of your skills. And whilst you apply and interview, it is fair to brag about your achievements and/or examples of analyses. However, do keep in mind that outside of interviews, you should be on the humble side and let the analyses reflect how great your brain and input of the game is.
