[@agathakang]

Thanks so much for the thoughtful comments! Feel free to connect with me on 📷instagram: instagram.com/agathaakang/ and through my 📬newsletter: agathakang.com/subscribe (free resume template in link)

[@AlexC.-fy8xx]

I'm a junior in college at the moment studying Data Analysis, but unfortunately I have realized my college isn't actually preparing me for this career at all. I graduate next summer and I still don't have any technical skills. I am really grateful for your videos. I am a first-gen college student and I really hope to live a comfortable life without the struggles my parents had. I sincerely thank you for the wonderful information you give to people for free. I am going to work hard to follow a road map like this to reach my goals. Keep up the great work!

[@LeeWel]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am literally in the same position right now, first gen student, graduating next year with no experience and feeling like my degree hasn’t prepared me for the workforce. Give yourself some credit for taking the time out to research what to do outside of school and putting in that effort. I wish you the best for your career journey!

[@theneoncookie8402]

Literally in the exact same position we got this

[@supryaazhakath7385]

same, i literally graduate in dec and just have mostly conceptual stuff to think about. I have to go back to actually practice this to be prepared for these interviews

[@moonchild1749]

So true, I'm in a similar position rn I'm majoring in Business Analytics..and I'm confused as hell I got an internship but it was totally a field work ( involves surveying people ). I had to leave it few days ago because of the heavy pressure of achieving targets, and toxic work culture...I want to start all over again, it surely gave me a reality check, and made me doubt If I chose the wrong career or smth

[@victormanuelhernandez6431]

I wish you the best Life is a trip, enjoy the road 😊

[@arklight1696]

I am currently a college student with no degree or professional experience and I just started the Google Data Analytics Certificate on Coursera. I'm leaving this comment to mark the beginning of my journey towards becoming a Data Analyst. I'm locking in and committing to this. I'll provide updates on how it's going every now and then. Wish me luck.

[@upstateAP]

How's it going so far?

[@RobinnaBibo]

Same. Good luck, dude!

[@ashaoluoluwadunsin]

Same. How is it going so far. Just started Still I the introductory aspect

[@infinite5imal]

I started yesterday the IBM course also in Coursera. Best of luck! I am close to finishing my bachelor's in biology also I'd be glad to keep in touch as beginners and hopefully start advancing our careers if needed :)

[@II-gv2ie]

@@RobinnaBiboHi how is it going?:)

[@xOrchid23x]

Thank you ! This is helping me tons. I’ve recently completed the Google DA Certificate but have felt stuck in starting my projects for the portfolio. And just really learning the skills. I had decided to focus on the 3 you mentioned in this video, so that’s my confirmation that I’m on the right track! 💕

[@agathakang]

Glad the video was helpful! It's overwhelming at first but break it down and follow the steps. Good luck with your journey!

[@arefwahb7771]

Hello, I am considering taking google DA course. Is that really helpful according to your experience? Thank you

[@tinaviju580]

Is started the Google D A course but it's learning style didn't suit me. It is a person talking and talking. I switched to IBM Data analytics certification and liked it. It is very concise and solid.

[@xOrchid23x]

@@arefwahb7771hello! I would recommend it as far as you have absolutely no background or experience in tech or data analysis. It introduces what the role is and introduces the main tools you will need for the job but you won’t be an expert at the end. I would go through it and absorb as much as possible but continue to learn outside the course itself. I don’t think it looks bad on your resume, it’s a recognized industry one but won’t get you the job.

[@alexzandriathegood]

You completed the certification and still felt stuck? That's not a good sign 😔

[@SamrawitMuluneh-j3k]

Incredible road map! Tomorrow is September 1 so i will come back to be the witness on March ❤

[@aminasonus]

Thanks for this content! I started binge watching you and will begin my 6 month journey. :)

[@agathakang]

Love this! And I’m excited for you :)

[@yunz2164]

It’s real I self studied python into advanced level SQL and took a non credited course on Excel but it took me a month and a half after I started to familiarize with a professional settings with project and bootcamp and just now I’ll be starting in 2 weeks professionally I manage to get my foot on the door but doing almost everything she said I may not have a job as a data scientist yet but now I’m getting the experience needed but I still intended to go to university for my own accomplishment, make my momma proud and for formalities 💪💪

[@LaydyDivine]

This is awesome, I’m so overwhelmed with wanting to do everything. I really needed a structured roadmap. I do want to try to become an analyst in three months, so I might have to apply to other analyst roles. But this helps a lot!

[@LaydyDivine]

Thank you for also providing examples of projects once finishing learning each skill

[@agathakang]

So glad this was helpful! If you have more time to commit, it’s possible to transition faster than I outlined!

[@albertlopez03]

Wow! The Fact that you are providing so much value for free is just amazing! Thank you so much!

[@agathakang]

You're welcome! I'm so glad the video was helpful!

Finished the Google DA course in 4 days. I did my projects in a few days. And updated my resume. Then applied for jobs

Did you get a job!

[@magicdinho107]

Awesome, how’s is it going?

[@paulekanem8285]

Kudos! How is it going?

[@Kayela]

Any updates?

[@johndoeee888]

Hello, nothing yet. It's a weird time right now in the job market. While I'm still applying I have started the IBM Data analytics course. Just to compare the 2. Personally I like the IBM DA course. It goes more in depth than the Google DA.

[@ThePrinceUva]

I have decided to focus on data analyst roles now, already expertbin Excel, 10 years of experience and teaching, already good at SQL, computer science software engineering degree, MBA. Power BI experience. I did, php, java, C, javascript... back in collegue 10 years ago. Now i need to do tableau. Get like 5 certifications this year.

I’m going to try this in 6 months because…. why not? I need a career change.

[@CelticSurferGaming]

I'd be super curious to see an update 6 months from now to see how it goes. I'm considering a career change, too.

[@SheDayTrades]

@@CelticSurferGaming I don’t blame you! I’ve been looking at remote careers/jobs to transition into. I was actually looking at business analyst as a possible career so I’m looking at options atm. I am looking at a bootcamp but they’re $10k. The value I see in those bootcamps are mentors and the network it offers. I haven’t fully made my decision yet to what I want to do. Keep me posted if you want to pursue anything.

[@CelticSurferGaming]

@@SheDayTrades Since commenting on this, I've started the Google Data Analytics certification course. Fingers crossed. I'm nervous about Python/R.

[@GiGi-dd5cr]

I really appreciate this video! I don't know why I started to learn SQL for fun, but I ended up really liking it so I wanted to look into jobs that would use that skill. I am at an intermediate level and not done with my course yet but I was kind of lost on what to do after that. So I am a little out of order but I just made a whole roadmap based on this info and some I already had and feel like I have a much better plan of what I am doing and what to move on to next. I am spending about 4 hours a day on it so I think this time frame is doable for me!

[@modifiedjaymill]

Everyone with a degree and years of experience are applying entry, junior and senior level roles just to get a job. There is no key to starting over with our current market, you get what you can get at the moment because the market is flooded right now.
