A Day in the Life of a Data Analyst (2023)

[@waswarodgers]

Just finished my probation period as a data analyst and was confirmed officially as a full employee. This video has given me the direction I was looking for❤

[@RRDGamer]

Congratulations. I am also leaving my current job and starting probation period in data science next month to pursue a career in data science. Do you have any tips for me?

[@mahalnamahalkita358]

Congratulations! All the best :)

[@eleanorjpoindexter4299]

Congrats, Dude!

[@patelmilind7621]

Congratulations sir.... I'm civil engineer and looking to learn something new in tech industry....... Any suggestions or tips or advice please 😇

[@SelfimproventandDevelopment]

I just saw ur last video I think I am in the right field

[@ryn_rai]

This is by far the best "A day in a life of Data Analyst" video I've ever seen on KZbin. This video gave the proper insight of how a day look like in business. Great work and thank you for sharing, loved it!

[@careerfoundry]

Thank you so much Aryan, that's great praise indeed and very kind. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@GavinPotter]

I agree!!! By far the best. Thank you

[@tianag4627]

I thought the same. This video had enough details to get a good feel for what type of work it is.

[@aneneemmanuel7985]

I knew I'd find this comment and it's 100% spot on. Zero BS and thank God 50% of the video wasn't spent making coffee or exercising at the gym

[@fabianfriedrichs5835]

As a Data Analyst my self i can confirm that this is pretty much about what I do. Usually the tasks are not as clean cut as shown here. E.g. do you sometimes realize a problem in the data while creating a report and go back to the datatransformation. But this shows perfectly what the general tasks of a Data Analyst are!

[@anupkunwar1520]

Hey i an 16 how much time would it take for me to be data analysist

[@ulisesroldan2955]

Did you go to college? And if so was it an easy transition from college work load to your actual job work load or was it different?

[@ivanmiau9280]

@@anupkunwar1520 few months to 1 year, depends how much time do you spend on it daily :)

[@wildfyah]

Sounds like something I'd like

[@Tealll]

I’m in the process of deciding if I want to move forward with a Data Analytics certification and wowwwwwww I had no clue it included all of this. Not very sure I can handle the coding and math lol. Thanks for the details!

[@ImADelicacy]

Now THIS is the Day in the Life video I was looking for!!!! This definitely gave me much more insight on what it entails. I knew some of what was mentioned, but definitely didn't know all of this. Extremely helpful and much appreciated!

[@victorstewart395]

Best ‘day in the life’ video of any career ever. For a job that usually involves confidentiality so you can’t actually show what you’re working on therefore you need to explain it concisely, this was great! I’m not even a Data Analyst (yet) and I 100% understood what day to day work would look like. Thanks

[@shashpeiris6008]

Struggling to get into the industry as a Data Analyst, looking for a mentorship and good opportunity. This is encouraging for real. Thanks alot.

[@joaquinivanperezalvarez3045]

I think that data analysis is one of the best careers right now, personally I love the combination of subjects that make it unique, the problem that I am encountering after almost a year as a data analysis trainee is the job search, I am from Peru

[@dvnwifey222]

This was perfect! So in-depth and detailed. As an aspiring Data Analyst, this motivated me. Thank you!

[@Chica212008]

As others have commented, this is one of the best, if not the best, day in the life videos I’ve watched. Super helpful. Thank you!

[@caetano.santana]

Thank you for this video! Always nice to see Data Analysts/Data Scientists doing their job. I'm actually dedicating a lot of time and effort in order to learn as much as possible to become a Data Scientist myself in the near future. Such inspiring professions.

[@careerfoundry]

You're welcome! It's always great to hear inspiring stories like this. Keep it up and stay tuned for more data analytics content very soon!

[@davidd9707]

Best of luck to you on your journey, Caetano!

[@ngozinkommadu]

I’m an aspiring data analyst, and I find this video insightful

[@katerynakoltunova5266]

I'm a year into my bachelor's program for Data Analytics. This was such an insightful video! I'm learning python, sql, and statistics, and it's so cool to see I can continue learning and staying on top of new techniques. I can't wait to become a Data Analyst!

[@ocarerepairlab8218]

This is by far the most simple and straightforward video i have seen about a data analyst day. I am motivated by it. Thank yiou.

[@mwagle]

This has to be the most accurate "day in the life" of video for Data analytics I've seen.

[@saiwilatt4636]

As I'm an introvert, one thing that I'm worried about is the communicantion skill. I heard many data analysts mentioned that it is so important to have a *strong communication *. Yeah!! It's truth that a word of strong makes me nervous. In addition , as English is not my first language, and I'm not the one who can or likes using a high level words like business terms or talking sound like a professional. Therefore, how can I overcome this kind of thoughts before I graduate ?

[@justinsullivan4920]

Just take a deep breath, meditate and just tell yourself u can do this because u really can. Also, and just be confident and smile. I feel like smiling just helps eliminate the anxiety u have and helps u be more confident. Hope this helps and congrats on almost graduating u got this!

[@ulisesroldan2955]

I was one too, just start talking to people. Could just be random stuff on your head, in time you’ll be comfortable enough

[@radio.silence]

1) Practice. I feel your pain, but this is necessary. You won't know if your communication level is good enough if you don't talk to people. 2) When you speak, focus on getting your point across as best as you can and don't criticise yourself in the process. Don't know big words? Use the ones you know to explain what you mean. This is a skill too. The goal is to not get stuck. For me, I get stuck when I start judging my grammar or pronunciation, trying to speak perfect English. 3) Add 'English conversation' to your skill list. Treat it as just another skill, like SQL or python, that you have to improve in order to land a job or progress in your career. That's all it is! You can absolutely have strong communication skills as an introvert. I think you can practice in your native language too - being concise, unambiguous, respectful, all that stuff.

[@ManaMonarch]

Thank you for providing a proper 'day in the life of'! Other videos never go into what they actually do, work-wise, this was really great and insightful.

[@rajiabdulrauf4741]

i have been trying to transition into tech and making choice of career path has been difficult, but after watching watching this video, i think i am going for data analytics. i hope i find a good job soon and develop myself

[@ElizabethObuks]

I've paused the video to say, this is the BEST day in the life video I've seen on KZbin! I'm actually getting into project management so would love a PM one like this but I can't find any good ones from PM professionals in the UK

[@trongkhanhmai8662]

The best “A day in life” I’ve ever seen! Super helpful, thanks a lot ❤️

As soon as am done with the LSS BB am coming for Data Analyst then go back and do my LSS MBB

[@Tiki-trends]

You have by far given the best definition of a Data Analyst👍

[@jazz_hat]

Daamn! This is more like an ad for data analysts. Looks sooo easy, so chill and without any chaos that i have as a developer.

[@ebbiec]

Thank you for this information on your day in the life!!! I've decided that this would not be the most ideal role for me!

[@EricTrysla]

Failed to comment like that because I thought I would be labeled.. Am glad am not alone.. I have been busy singing about this career option but not knowing what is really involved is actually complex.

Great video showing what you do in detail. I will be honest I almost turned it off when you said "latte with oat milk" but I gritted my teeth and pushed on through. I am glad I did.

[@careerfoundry]

Hey Carl, thanks for the kind feedback, glad you stuck with it. Oat milk isn't for everyone!

[@starry_config]

I loved the details in this video and these best practices! It’s giving me some inspiration to structure my job. Your day seems much calmer than mine though… I feel like I’m frantically bouncing around multiple projects and requests daily… no chill. Is that normal or is my company just a little crazy?

Dont know why I am addicted to watching day in the life of videos. I know this is a video to entertain more then actual avg day, but after watching several of these day in the life of data analyst videos can't help but wonder how long do actual data projects take on avg? I imagine a week maybe more? Otherwise if data projects are just 1-2 days that is close to 100-200ish projects a year. Which is a lot

[@yorha.a2]

This is perfect in every way possible

[@TheRealJuseBeats]

Can you just talk Normal as a data analyst? It seems like you guys speak in a way that is unnecessarily complicated. Things I would like to know tho is what is an example of the process? The business ask you what? Like do they ask “how many sales we had in October and what’s the age range?”. And you use your skill to find that out in python? What is the meaning of using these programs? Why must you use code? Why aren’t there wysiwyg programs where the business can input the data already? I’m tryna understand the reasoning.

[@אהלןסהלן]

You are in the wrong video. Days in the life videos, are anything BUT day in the life, you can see it in all of them: fullstack, front/back, data - they all come down to: Wake up, coffee, meetings, some stretching, eating, bed. They are all the same bs.

[@frothylube491]

Got a question for ya. Do you think companies would hire someone new to the data analytics field, if all they had was a certification? I’m going through a massive career shift from education to data analytics. And I’m currently enrolled in the Google Analytics program. So, do you think simply understanding basics at beginner levels such as simple SQL, queries, spreadsheets, and basic coding functions and formulas could land you a junior position?

[@hs63]

I'm leaving education for data analytics too! From what I've heard (online & from data analysts I've met in person) is you definitely need to know Excel, a good deal of SQL, and then one way of showing visuals of what you've learned -- Power BI, Tableau, R, etc. The thing they care about is seeing what you can do. So before you apply put together a project showing your skills. You don't need to know everything, but they need to see you've got a good foundation to learn for whatever role you're going to fill.

[@frothylube491]

@@hs63 Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out what to do in terms of sending out resumes and applications once I get done with my certification. I’ve been taking time to learn SQL, I’m about to start learning R and Python, and then I’ll be getting into visualization. My mentality is teach myself as much as I can and get a company to give me a shot and help me learn more.

[@CharIieStar]

I'm also going through a career change and I'm new to the Data Analytics world also. I'm sure we will all be able to get jobs once we learn the skills mentioned above. Python, SQL, Tableu, R, etc. I'm excited for us all to begin our new careers! Best wishes to all! Let's do this

This is very helpful! I'm a math teacher whos considering this field of work. Not worried about the math part at all, but a bit worried about the Coding part. I coded a bit in college but nothing crazy; its C++ and MatLab, and two other programs I used for Stats classes (do not recall the names). So I guess its time to learn a new Code language

[@vegetossgss1114]

I do strongly disagree with the code language aspect. If you still have managed to learn 3 code languages, and speak several languages on top of that, you shouldn't be obliged to learn new ones. There are plenty of companies here that will be more than happy to hire you, especially if these 3 languages are well-known and widely used. Companies should definitely stop asking too much to their employees.

[@Energine1]

In my experience its not about how it "should be" but rather what it takes to make things possible
