How to Start Freelancing as a Data Scientist / Analyst (part-time)

[@AmexL]

This guy is one of the most sincerest creator in this space and dare I say the YT creator community at large. His content is insightful, motivating, and educational. Exemplary work.

[@ShashankData]

Thank you so much Amex!

[@jenniferthornquest9669]

100% agree. Mariana Trench of knowledge.

[@jahanveenarang5029]

Ok

[@authentic_101]

That's a great client review right there! 😀🤘

[@tririyantiteresa4426]

And also honest and i feel encourage enough by the way he say, keep the good content!

[@LukeBarousse]

The freelancing video we have have been waiting on from Shashank!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ShashankData]

Thanks man! Yeah I figure it was a good way to end my brief stint on the platform

[@LukeBarousse]

@@ShashankData Yeah thats what Jordan said the first time he left the NBA... 😉

[@aprilleclair6527]

Hi Shashank! I just started watching your videos and am so inspired. I have been studying and practicing SQL, python, Power BI at work and outside of work as a financial analyst and can't let go of my dream to get a tech job working as a data analyst/scientist. Your videos inspire and educate us all! Thank you for this top value content!

[@vedlilhare4212]

Same here, i am also looking for ds

[@himanshuagarwal3889]

Hey, I am myself working in the same field and I have interest in financial analyst. I think we can exchange info.

[@sincerelysilvia]

Thanks for being honest about the job application process. You are probably one of the few data scientist/analyst channels out there who actually GOES DEEP into the nitty-gritty stuff 🥺

[@gawd2891]

I don't know how to thank you enough for everything you did on this channel, learned so many things not just in terms of Technical but also the everyday life of a person in US 😇🙏

[@ShashankData]

Thank you so much! Yeah I put in a life lesson or two in this one haha

[@gawd2891]

@@ShashankData Loved it 😇❤️

[@2ndGenBusinessOwner]

Dude, I feel like I need to pay you to listen to this content. I'm so grateful your telling these tips for free. Hope you gain more success in business and freelance journey.

[@estheroffem]

One of the most honest and concise videos I have seen on YT

[@justinhoward1369]

This is a brilliant video, face down learning python, SQL, R etc this is what us upcoming analysts need as motivation!! Thanks Shashank!!

[@Pff0n1]

I've never seen an Indian who didn't speak with an Indian accent, perfect accent

[@primahari3133]

hahah welcome to the real world!

[@hikari5997]

I was confused too whether he is an Indian or not 😅

[@AbelSibhatu]

Exactly

[@eazy284]

He’s American, but of South Asian descent. Judging by his name, some of his ancestry is most likely from Tamiļ Naďu（ with a small chance from Sri Lanka or Karnataka).

[@PlanetCherz]

This was so clear cut and insightful. Seriously thank you

[@gaabicid]

Thanks Shashank, i've been waiting for this! Good data

[@sebwylleman]

On point with selling yourself vs solely focussing on technical skill sets :)

[@vanessaricom]

Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos and the amazing quality. All your content is so informative and encouraging!

[@haydenwilsonx]

Thanks for the genuine video - no flashy crap, just genuine Info

[@byronwilliams7977]

Just stumbled across your video, I think your points about technical people not feeling comfortable using Marketing Speech is spot on.

[@adityasamal9091]

Hey Shashank....Kudos to you for the accomplishment.I am an aspiring data analytics guy.Hope we get connected,help me in building connections .I appreciate your support

[@KunalSingh-ye6wc]

Great stuff brother! Keep up the good work. ❤️

[@mixahlgalanopoulos8494]

Is it possible, in your opinion, for a junior Data Analyst with no previous experience, start working on upwork? And what's your best advices?

[@entropy696]

god damn, thank you so much for the info. I really really appreciate it. Current finishing my phd soon and gonna leave academia. Thank you

[@internetandlifehacks]

This is really valuable info & advice, thank you for sharing your experience🙏

[@reelabdalla1289]

You are amazing Shashank 🎉

[@blessedzvidza1192]

best video on this i've seen so far.

[@DBS-2030]

Very Informative and detailed facts about data analytics .freelancing ...Thanks by heart

[@ninjaboy191]

you seem pretty transparent about your experiences; so may I ask, how much do data analysts generally get paid? I am wondering if it is worth it to pivot to it from chemical engineering, which is profitable but extremely inflexible.

[@sumayyausman9210]

Thank you so much for all the information you put out to us. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@SAKE42able]

I can't find What I should do in upwork and I feel competition is very aggressive Upwork is not for beginners

[@Jaymi450]

What I needed

[@Jaymi450]

Awesome video again. I'm a bit confused about the kind of jobs to search for. Should I just type in data analyst or be more specific like sql or Tableau or web scrapping

[@sgtcojonez]

Thank you so much. I am planning to start a freelance data analytics gig on the side as a way of building up my portfolio and hopefully making some good extra money.

[@jacobcano7702]

Thank You Shashank!

[@hichamnajeh858]

Hi can the non American citizen freelancers get job on upwork?

[@PhiK8]

Excellent content, it’s helpful

[@shashishekhar----]

Shashank can you make a video about the particulars of certain projects that you completed.

[@bezualemfisseha2119]

I really appreciate you work. I don't know how to thank you

[@scully4life]

I really appreciate the information you are sharing here. I haven't been able to find information this detailed and insightful anywhere else. Just a quick question... I am a Statistician working in Public Health with a B.S. in biology and M.S. in comp. sci. My work experience is entirely bioinformatics/computational biology. Due to health reasons I may no longer be able to work full time. Is Upwork a viable option for someone with my skills? I mostly use R (tidyverse, glmnet, and some packages specific to survival analysis), but I have experience from grad school with Python (Pandas, NumPy, SKLearn) Jupyter Lab, and Tensor Flow. I'm leaving out some stuff for brevity, but hopefully you get the idea.

[@davidagiraldo]

I am prepping for med school and was wondering from a logistical view, if this is something I can do part time on Upwork? -New fan, binge watching your videos.

[@dimi_ga]

Thanks, great video

[@CloudTheColdest]

Thanks Shank for the amazing video. One quick question for you (or for anyone else who already did this): do you think it's a good idea to import your Linkedin profile into Upwork, or should I create it from scratch?

Just found your channel, amazing content. Do you think we can strive as a freelance Data Analyst/Scientist without completely working for a corporate. I am 35 and learning Data Analysis. I want to completely become a freelance. What are your thoughts.

[@johanjohnson2096]

Great video again shashank. Try requesting to post one of your videos on the freecodecamp KZbin channel. You will definetely get more people knowing who are :)

[@keithnisbet]

I've considered adding a Data Analyst Google Cert program. Is this really sufficient for getting beginning Data Analyst work? I have a Physics and Business background but no programming experience. My interest is specifically free lance from Home office, not a 9-5 in corporate office. Thanks

[@Boomtiger47]

This was an awesome video. Your client dashboard seems like a great start, but do you have recommendations for software that freelancers can use to manage their clients and projects? That way I can have everything that your dashboard has and a bunch of other project details all in one place. Maybe something cloud-based.

[@ShashankData]

I personally don’t, I found that with the number of clients I was managing, this was more than enough. What feature

[@jameswhitaker4357]

Google calendar, reminders

[@briananderson2283]

Hi, thank you for your great content! I was wondering if you recommend going into freelancing without having a data analyst job experience? I have experience with projects but no job related experience. I'll appreciate your input, thanks!! -Brian

[@MrScrappy11111]

Great video! What are some examples of something a data analyst can do with a programming language that a general data analyst may not be able to do?

Hey! I’m not sure if you respond to questions on older videos, but I wanted to know how does a freelancer access a clients server if they are requesting you to pull data from their database? Thank you in advance. Was a great video btw.

Projectpro is awfully expensive. 140 usd per month mandatory to buy six months at once. Or 80 usd per month if you buy a year at once. 🤯🤯🤯

Do you believe if you were doing freelancing consistently, you would earn more or about the same average salary working for a company?

Shashank can I get your opinion on my career dilemma? I want to resign from my current government job and transition to a data analyst. My job doesn’t really put me in a position to grow or move up and I want out. I recently completed googles data analytics certificate, created some projects in kaggle using R, trying to become proficient in sql, and either tableau/power bi. I have about 50k in savings but I don’t have a job lined up and that’s my fear. Any tips or advice you can give me?

[@ozmann]

Don't leave until securing a data analyst job..

[@xaage5100]

Yea I'm on the same boat. Applied left and right for entry level data analyst job, but no calls so far. Feels really discouraging.

Are you adding your script to your cloud server or the clients?
