Im soon to graduate woth masters in data science and im noticing companies only care that yoinhabe experience using R or Pynton for data analytics, but none use these actually in day to day work. All uswr powerbi or tableau. How does one get documented experience with these platforms that an employer will accept ?

This is so true to the point where I had to search for 'SQL' just so I can see relative roles about data analytics, otherwise you will not see a lot of roles named 'Data Analyst'.

Im lost for a career right now

Its great i think that you emphasizes on Soft Skills and the ability to explain topics (the basic ones) in 2-3 sentences in front of a mirror. I struggle with them and doing tutorials on Excel, Python etc doesn't seem to help me, even though I can solve the exercises they put there.

Mo do you have to do predective analytics in job .

Hy Mo, This was really really good to listen to. I have been a subscriber for a while, watching your videos here and there as they pop up. But today it dawned on me how much you actually pour out in these videos. Thank you for the effort you put in. The amount of clarity I had from watching this, I honestly have not gotten from anywhere so far.

Hi Mo Chen, I hope you're doing well. I am currently looking to enhance my critical thinking skills, particularly in the context of data analysis. Given your expertise in the field, I was wondering if you could recommend any books that focus on critical thinking within data analysis. I'm interested in resources that not only cover technical aspects but also emphasize the analytical mindset and critical reasoning required for effective data interpretation and decision-making. Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards, Ihunayachi Oladapo

The manner of approach we take to reach out to someone who is far above us in a specific field needs to be both humble and professional.

Don't be afraid to accept roles adjacent to data analytics. I got hired as a SQL developer because of my abilities with SQL, and I got a promotion when I switched to my company's analytics team. Working in the SQL developer role helped me tremendously in understanding the kind of data I would be working with as a data analyst and it expanded my SQL skills significantly. I love the path I took to get where I am.

14:00 it’s true I don’t like to spend money. The roadmap I followed and single course I took got me to my first software development job inexplicably faster. Road maps give you direction by listing key topics with great detail. Mastering 80% of well designed roadmaps allows you to compete against many professionals in the workforce. The course I purchased gave me hands on learning demonstrating the applications of various technologies while teaching me how to actually use them from nothing to projects I could put on my portfolio. He is giving you the TRUTH! 🙌🏼

Mo, I’m sure a lot of professionals with a valuable depth of knowledge like you go experience this too often. Can you give us examples of better ways to request help? Then we can offer mutual benefit to our colleagues when we need them the most, even more than they ever could need us.

42:54 Can confirm Mo’s a beast. Worked in the mornings and at nights during our stay and still had full days worth of activities w us. Thanks 100 for hosting us!

They say: Start FREE course in Data Analytics, once subscribed, they say: Purchase course ... 499$ 😂😂😂😂😂

is real estate a specific domain knowledge or it can be applied into marketing & investment analytics respectively?

Hello Mo, I recall a video of yours showing a link to an Excel cheatsheet available for purchase. I couldnt find it now, may I seek for assistance to point me in a right direction? Been crawling through your videos and website but couldnt find it now.

Did they Create this Careers through the University or through Online Study / Qualifications ?

Best video i watched all year. 48mins of pure honestly, no frills and direct to the point. Thank you Mo.

How can someone sign up for that mentorship?

Hi Mo, appreciate the video! This was really useful as someone who is attempting to get better in the field!

Hi Mo, I’ve been watching you & Nicole through my journey in learning analytics and I’m happy to share that I landed my very first role as a Business Analyst. Your channel has such a positive impact in inspiring others with sharing your stories. I especially enjoy your sit down videos where you are just talking to the camera. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & developing such a positive community.

hmmmmmmmm?

hello sir, what other visualization software that can animate a data in an interesting way?

I always thought why its data analyst and not retail analyst/sales analyst/soccer analyst?

Exactly my thoughts

Just finished watching the entire video and the value here is worth a million dollars. Thanks Mo. I am happy you will produce more raw content see you in the next video.

nice vid ganger

Mo followed you since a year and now i am prepared for jobs but not able to land one remote job can you guide plz.

very great work Mo.. impressive!

after hearing this i do feel i lack communication skills and needs to brush them up, thanks for addressing this topic mo

Hey Mo, this video is super helpful and I've used it as my final project on my GitHub portfolio. I also tried to recreate a similar dashboard in PowerBI to show my versatility. I had to stop the video frequently to figure out why you were completing certain steps so that I understood the process properly rather than just 'rote learning' the process. Surprisingly Google Gemini helped answer a lot of my questions. Appreciate the content 🤙

This was an excellent video with factual, relevant and useful tips

I love how you mention soft skills in these vids. Communication is the most important unmentioned skill in everybody's roadmap but you put it right up front.

Amazing video!! Super helpful as someone post - university trying to navigate the corporate world. Thanks Mo!

This was a great, high value video Moe! It really puts it all into perspective as I just started my first data analyst job this week. Bring on more of this content 🙌

Thank you! This is helpful.

I really liked the video and the transparency, it must have been really difficult for you to prepare for this video because these topics seems to have tired you. Hope you rest well, working so much for so long is not good for the health, I'm sure you already know it. Thank you the great video. Already watched it entirely but I'll bookmark it to come watch it again from time to time 🙏

For our audience… we hear a lot about technical skills, that we will be replaced, and generic not detailed topics or stakeholder management, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Unlike the technical skills that have courses recommended to our demographic… the former soft skills for development like project management (I think most of these skills fall under this) are not explored. This includes your channel so far too. Is there something you recommend to develop those soft skills that are general? Or in the context of project management? Or better in the context of performing as a data analyst in a team as well as in a lead? I just want to add… thank you. Although I want more detail you are the only one I know putting in a lot of effort and telling the reality.

I'm very agree with you. I convert myself in a data analyst without wanting to and now I love it hahaha But the main reason I was hired it was because I could be very understandable with the industry I was working on

Thanks a lot for ur guidance upto this level...

Thank you for the invaluable knowledge you shared in this video! I've been working with data in Mozambique for 5 years and I can attest what you said applies to any workplace, most importantly the soft skills. In the end of the day, we share our work with people and knowing how to engage and manage expectations can really get you far.

I like the fact that you keep it real. Like learning the basics really well, and choosing the right tools and sticking to them rather than trying to learn everything. We all say we are ”proficient in excel” when in reality we are slow as hell and only know so much.

Mo the GOAT

Hey Mo! Thanks a lot for the video, very insightful. I wasn't even aware said soft skills were that important, definitely should start working on it! Also, really grateful with your portfolio guide.
