I'm a year into my PhD program and plan on going applied once I'm done. While I've enjoyed my studies so far, I have little idea of how much of the stats (and research methods) I'm learning is going to actually be used once I graduate. To my knowledge, none of my professors have any applied experience, and my classes so far have made it seem like everything is equally important to know, which I'm pretty sure won't be the case

I'm not looking for excuses not to learn stats or downplay their importance, just wanting to hear from those in industry about what I should actually focus on and strengthen and what's more of a "nice to know, but not important" or "only important if you're going into academia"
