Data Nerds! What skill are you currently working on that is a non-technical skill (I.e. soft skill, analytical skill, domain knowledge)?

@jordanmartinetti8224 2 года назад

I'm working on my math skills because I haven't taken a true math class in a decade. It's also important for my graduate program I applied to because some of the professors expect us to understand the math behind the code we are writing.

Update comment: I’m one month into my new career as a data analyst at a large charter school company (over 20 analysts on our team). I just wanted to come back here and say thank you! I focused on positions within education (changing from a 14 year career as a math teacher) and landed a position within a month of starting my job search. SQL and Excel are used a lot! My advice to anyone starting out is to get comfortable with those two programs (especially Inner Joins with SQL and PivotTables with Excel).

Maaaaaan, the way you explain stuff makes me feel like this is something reachable, despite of its level of complexity. You make it sound, somehow, easy. Not because it is, but because you suggest a self development path for those who want to learn on their own. There are many out there who put themselves on a superior position, maybe caused by their formal-education ego, but for some reason you must follow their same steps, which means you'll never be as awesome as they are. Thanks for breaking it down for humans. Big hug from Argentina, and keeping on rocking with that good work 💪🏻

@tomboedeker8479 Год назад

My formal education was Mathematics and am now working as a Data Analyst. I would say that my Intro course for Discrete math is the single most applicable math class I took relative to my current job. Understanding set theory basics (A intersect B, A Union B, B not A, etc.) are foundational to structuring SQL (or any other) joins correctly. The ideas behind it are pretty intuitive, so most people can do analytics without having Discrete Math training, but the people I work with who studied Set Theory write joins quicker, more intuitively and accurately than those who didn't.

@apamwamba Год назад

Same here. SET theory helped me understand SQL much more quickly.

It would be great to see potential/recommended learning paths and career paths more clearly outlined for everyone from younger learners to people throughout their careers to help people make more informed decisions on where to take their learning or careers. Obviously there are great content creators out there making it all clearer, and educators asking great questions, but it would be great to make this more of the norm.

1:32 I'm finishing the 4th course from the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate on Coursera and now I'm doing the build your resume week and I'm realising that I have already forgotten a lot of what I've learned and that is starting to worry me. 😅 2:12 BTW, you forgot the first letter i on the Certificate word on your resume. 😄 Thanks for the insightful video, Luke!

@LukeBarousse 2 года назад

No problem at all! AND I wouldn't worry to much about forgetting this short term, I think you are going to be fine as long as you are applying it! Keep up the studies!

Awesome video like always! I'm curious to know what you think about using Salesforce as part of a DA's toolkit. It didn't come up in your LinkedIn scraping which I'm not surprised. But I wonder, will it become more important in the future as more companies are moving to Salesforce as their CRM?

@LukeBarousse 2 года назад

Yeah Salesforce is a very niche tool, so I don't think it really comes close to the popularity of these other tools. That being said, In my last role we were integrating and starting to use SalesForce. So I do think it's not a bad choice to learn, but may not be applicable to all analysts depending on their company even uses Salesforce or not.

Hi Luke! This was an great video. I would like to ask you, I am starting my path to be a mechanical engineer, but for the last months I have been enrolled with the Data Analytics Certificate by Google. I discover I would like learning programming and quit the Engineering path, do you think it's necessary to have a University degree to be successful when looking for a job as a Data Analyst?

@LukeBarousse 2 года назад

Thats a good question. To be come a Data Analyst, I don't think you need to have a "Data Science degree" BUT I do think that having a degree is valued by employers; whether it is in a related field or not. My recommendation would be to get the degree (maybe even evaluate switching to something more aligned with your interest as well)

Hello Luke, I came across several courses online and noticed that in a majority of them, if you want to become a Data Analyst, you will need to know Excell (pivot tables, V-Lookups, which I actually like), SQL, Tableau, Python, and some others. I guess my question is becoming a Data Analyst still worth pursuing, even in this current job market, especially being an entry-level Data Analyst? If you have the skills and want a job, are there any temp agencies that specifically work to recruit IT personnel such as Data Analysts? Other than soft skills, are there other skills, soft skills, or tech skills, that would benefit an entry-level Data Analysts in the current job market? Other than LinkedIn, what are the best job sites to find jobs to work as a Data Analyst, in-office or remote?

@jgehbinv Год назад

Well, I would certainly network with all contacts to let them know you are looking for a data analyst job. Another possibility is to use an IT headhunter.

@caty863 Год назад

I am very excited rn. I just landed my first job as a data analyst. What made me realize how scarce skills in this field are, I got offered this job even before I had built any portfolio whatsoever. I just showed off my Coursera certificates, performed some practical tests during the interview, and bam, I was hired! You can never get hired in this state in any other domain as far as I know. I am looking forward to a successful career. Man i'm so happy now!
