In general, is getting a reserve Intelligence Officer spot competitive (I understand unit/state dependent, etc, just want to know if in general it's tougher to get than the other branches).
For Reserve Officers in general, what is the time commitment outside of drill? What I'm worried about is I keep hearing it will eat my life away little by little. Can someone give me a general idea of the time either per day or per week of admin work I need to deal with.
-Can I reasonably set one day aside a week, and get everything done in 2 hours? If that's not enough, can I reasonably set half an hour aside a day and get everything done then?
-Do I NEED to respond to everything immediately? Or can I be like "Each week, I will look at everything that needs to be replied to on Saturday, and I will reply on Saturday". My fear is my civilian job will require too much focus to have to constantly be thinking of the reserves EVERY DAY.
*Do I need to think of the reserves EVERY DAY on non drill weekends or can I set aside days a week to deal with it?
Lastly: Outside of drill, would I mostly be dealing with only NCOs for the most part? Like if I'm a PL, I'm just dealing with my 4 NCOs over the course of the month when we're not at drill? Or do I have to be working with each person in the platoon throughout the month?
Am scheduled for Intelligence BN boards next month and want to know what I'm getting into. Thank you.
Isn't it a big deal? Why don't I see it discussed here or on lesswrong? Is it because there's no demo or a way to test it out?

Hey All,
A client has tasked me with gathering competitive intelligence from some indirect competitors. End goal is for client to decide on whether to build product on own, buy one of these competitors, or to partner with one of these competitors to deliver product to client's customers.
Curious on best practices for comparing the competitors in this space to ultimately come up with a recommendation? Thinking the SWOT method, comparing size and sector make sense, but would love some additional perspectives/tips.
Appreciate the help!
I moved to a heavy Trump area, I've always considered myself to be talented and I did go to a highly ranked academic school, (poor grades, average white guy with biz degree) but never had personal career accomplishments to hang my hat on, yet I was amazed at how I got a great job in a new, highly technical field. Guess I was just better than the local available pool. From the start, the manager said I was far and away the highest scorer on the application aptitude test. I may be one of the first up for the chopping block when one of those times come for my inexperience and views, but I've already got this experience and lots of fat paychecks out of the deal, so I'll definitely be reusing this method in the future.

I was looking for videos about competitive intelligence and I found this one very interesting, is there any other content of this kind that you know to help me out?
