How to Become a Data Analyst in 2023 (Completely FREE!)

To anyone getting started. Took me 7 months from no knowing anything about the field, to having my first Data Analyst role, from a hospitality background. I’ve watched a lot of Alex’s videos, so you’re at the right place. Good luck!

I started teaching myself data analytics fundamentals in April 2023. I was rejected for a uni course as I couldn't pass the math test. But I persevered. I did the Google data analytics certificate and put my whole heart into it and went off on tangents with it, learning beyond what was in the course. I've just got a job offer from my first interview, and it's for a data analyst for the government at mid-management level. I have no idea how the heck this happened but I guess I gotta say THANK YOU. I thought, no way will I get it this quickly. But there you go! I had zero knowledge or professional experience when I started and here we are, only 5 months later!

[@rjnkanedata]

@@raygovrichiesovtwins5879 I did a BA Hons in History when I finished school, complete waste of time and money tbh but we were told if you don't go to uni, you're screwed essentially. Load of tripe, never used my degree once!

[@danielhazard1680]

Congratulations 👏🏾. Can you please give me your honest opinion on the Google data analytics certificate please

[@rjnkanedata]

@@danielhazard1680 I'm glad I did it for sure as it is for complete beginners and there's a lot of practice involved, which is how i learn best (by doing and making mistakes, not reading about it). I really enjoyed the part on R. HOWEVER, Python appears to be much more desired than R so potentially consider the IBM cert instead (I think that's the one that does python?). Definitely a good place to start! I did it in 3 months to cut costs (but completely busted myself with exhaustion lol)

[@isratjahan1209]

hi, can one do these with 3 months?

[@jared321]

As a data analyst something else I recommend learning is the context behind the data you’ll be analyzing. For example, if you’re applying to be one at a manufacturing facility, understand the manufacturing process (at least to some degree). If you’re applying at the corporate office of some retail chain or medical office, understand how those companies generally work etc etc…The technical skills are certainly important, but knowing the actual business pays in dividends.

I thought that this must be a pretty good channel if someone seemed to be so grateful to Alex the Analyst. And now, it looks like it is a channel with excellent content, good vibes, and does not make Data Analyst career feel overwhelming. The introduction alone is a good roadmap. Thank you!

[@elliotyip9844]

Alex, I want to chip in my experience here. I was a Finance graduate, and just like you, have 0 background in data, but I do have a little bit of statistical knowledge coming from an Economics minor. I did all the things you and Luke taught on becoming a data analyst from scratch, all the projects, the portfolio, the courses, the recruiters, EVERYTHING. 3 months of intensive learning and another 3 months of job hunting afterwards, I got myself a job in an islamic finance company, collecting data of unit trust funds around the world and consolidating them into a database, constantly updating them, making analysis on them, finding pattern and trends. So Alex, I want to thank you, Luke, and many other teachers on KZbin and all over the internet helping me on this journey, and I'm very lucky, grateful and thrilled that I made it.

I have also decided to go in path of Data Analytics.. I have quit my job in Corporate after 8 years.. Now I am on unemployment support for 6 months already 2 months spent from those 6.. 2 months learning every single day 4+ hours.. mostly python.. like 80-90% of time is python then SQL and then the others.. Not spending any time by learning Power BI tools.. yet.. I have excel on decent level which I got from corporate work so no spending time on that too.. So I just need to master SQL and get decent on Python.. To be honest I belvie that you can master SQL in 1-2 months.. or get at least into very advanced level.. But Python guuuysss. Thats a different story.. I have alredy wrote more than 1000 lines of codes in python and still I think I have not even master the basics :/ Sometimes I start doubting myself if I am able to learn that.. but then I check my goals and I say.. I will!!! I have to :D got tired to live from pay check to pay check.. :/

For the sole purpose of bettering my life and learning data analytics, I've bought new laptop since the old one was very faulty and slow and I'm planning to genuinely start from zero. Yes, motivation goes away sometimes especially if you're alone or doing this at home so it will be really great if someone also wants to join me on this journey....if there's someone just starting out and also want someone to be constantly reminded of the progress...i think by sharing progress and telling each other what it needs to be done, we will progress faster than average.

SQL is hard, you can learn the basics in 3-4 days no doubts. Doing complicated things with SQL takes a lot more time. Make it 4-5 months min to master SQL only. Excel is tricky too. Some jobs ask for VBA and Excel, takes time to master Excel, let alone knowing the visual basic. Tableau or Power Bi. For my Power Bi certificate I had to reschedule the exam once. I didn't feel ready for it. The exam suggest that is for Junior analyst with 6 month experience. It's expected to have being working with Power Bi for at least that much before you get a professional certificate about it. It took me 4 months for the certificate btw and I barely passed it. Where you place R or Python in that short time frame? Knowing Python first, then how to work with libraries doing the actual data work, then if you need web scrapping also learning that. Just won't happen in a short period of time or at least not in a job ready proficiency.

Yesterday I had an interview in which they asked me if I knew databricks, Apache spark, Hadoop, Hive, there’s two more I can’t remember… industry is not as easy as this KZbinrs want to make it seem

[@DarkGT]

@@christianalvarez9930 It really depends how high you aim at. I landed similar position as Business Analyst Intern (starting Monday). I had to only prove that I can work with data (Excel test) and writing about my findings, since the job require writing technical documentation. The way industry moves, are you right, much more is needed as per the demand for data increases. Don't get demotivated KZbinrs like Alex give you hope.

One of the reasons why I decided to learn those skills and become DA is you, I do really appreciate your doing great job and distributing us. I also want to have mentor in this areas even I want you but other if i can. I really grateful for that.

[@ManiSh-jl8ej]

thank you Alex, for drawing this amazing clear path for us and we can concentrate on the most important thing that we need for our first job. I quit my job and I have to defend my thesis next 3 months. I want to go through your course simultaneously to improve my resume for next job. thank you and I'm looking for your "Python" class too, there is a lot of python class I know but your teaching is simple and to the point so please please make a video for us. thank you man.

[@b-rajshekar]

Started my learning Journey to become a DataAnalyst, will leave comments about my progress, thanks for the course, all the best everyone 🙏

[@TMayDFS]

Amazing video! I just started the process of learning SQL and Tableau after 3 years of doing data analysis for daily fantasy sports as a freelancer. Gonna be binging these videos. Here's to getting a full time gig by the summer!

[@asols4318]

hey man i've been doing data analysis for dfs as well. Have you been putting the projects on your resume under a 'projects' section or as actual work experience?

[@TMayDFS]

@@asols4318 I have it as work experience since I've been with my company since 2020. Been lucky enough to be involved in a lot of the business! A lot of my projects are studying trends like GPP target score probability vs ownership. Really a lot of avenues you can go into depending on the sport

[@narimanabbasli3783]

Is knowing SQL and BI tools enough to become a data analyst? I mean must we know python? 🙄

[@Ikee76]

Hey Alex, I’ve recently gotten into data analytics and you’ve been a HUGE help through my journey. I’m so excited to learn more and can’t wait until I’m actually experienced enough to land a career. Also, when is your next livestream?

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

Soon!

[@YWCHRServicesandmore7326]

Thanks so much for this Alex. Please how do I get a prompt for your next livestream?

I am starting my analyst journey today, I feel like it will not only help in changing my career, but also help me in the psychology field!

[@leobonjo5213]

This is so helpful, thank you! I am transitioning into the tech field from an education background and while learning coding through self-study trying to narrow down the specific positions I'm interested in. At this time, I'm most drawn to Data Analytics, DevOps, and Cloud Engineering. Just trying to learn more about each career path and this was highly informative!

[@gordonbarfield4656]

Great work Alex! Super helpful. Finishing the Google Data Analytics Cert. this week. Do you have any advise for a career physician who is pivoting to a data science track? My goal is to incorporate my health care expertise within a data science use case. I have a decent idea of the track and structure but wonder if you have any helpful hints?

[@DC-se3vr]

Hello sir! That’s so wonderful to hear. I’ve been getting certified in Python and R. I took a statistics class. And data science foundations. I learned Tabealu and Alteryx. The last step is resume and LinkedIn. Data Science is a touch different than Data Analysis. Also Data Validation in excel are easy formulas you can learn. Good luck on your journey sir! As data scientist we must know code a bit stronger than a data analyst.

I am starting this bootcamp tofay 26/10/2024. Typing this to track my progress. Thank you Alex for this opportunity. See you at the end of bootcamp. 😊

[@frothylube491]

Hey Alex! I’ve got a question! I just finished my Google Data Analytics Certification yesterday. I’ve been working on more case studies and I’m eager to start applying. However, do jobs offer any sort of “we’ll train you more” if you show you have a good beginner level understanding or is you’re expected to just go right on in with little help? I know you’ve said back in the day you didn’t have much technical skills but one of your jobs liked your personality and thought “we can train him”. Do you still think that is pretty prevalent today? Or is there more of an expectation, regardless of background knowledge, that you’ll come in and just take your spot.

[@kingdomofisrael6486]

I'm on the same track as you...we can put our minds together

[@lymphomasurvive]

The expectation for most corporate jobs is that you know enough to do the job.

[@ifeomafeechi6918]

I am just started out on this journey a few weeks ago and Alex have proven to be of great resource. Thanks to you Alex.

[@SeifeddineBenBarka]

I'm staring today August 11th 2024, no previous knowledge or experience in the field, I'll keep you updated, Thank you Alex for all your efforts, wish me luck

[@Faxijgy]

Me too. All the best✨

[@SeifeddineBenBarka]

@@Faxijgy GL to you too

[@nightmaremma2546]

how is it going?

[@journeytodataanalyst868]

I can say to date that has been longer than a year to land a job as I am still searching. I say this not to detour anyone, rather to express that there are a lot of factors to consider. For me, where I am located, my country is still focused on having a degree in the IT field and applying to foreign countries has not been as fruitful. BUT that isn't going to stop me from learning and applying to jobs. In the meantime, I am taking the skills I have learned and applying it to my current role.

[@lynnogoi6225]

I’m so thankful!! May God bless you, Alex🙏🏾

[@peteadams7916]

Thanks for providing some clarity in starting out in this industry! I've been out of the data analytics roles for 7 years and relied on IT teams for data extractions and ETL's etc. This gives me confidence to regain knowledge and expand my abilities to SQL etc. I have made a start on GA4 certification and will continue from there! Exciting journey!

[@Vlog.ft.Riiyanka]

Starting my journey today with this course. I am from India and currently working as a ML Data Associate in FAANG and am looking forward to expand my horizon and dive into the new route to success. Leaving a comment so that I can come back and review my progress later. Though am quite late to the course but not sorry. Wish everyone good luck if you're starting with me or after. Lets do this ✊🏻😊
