Can u please say how uve got and wht skills u got ?

[@BKSDA1]

Mo you are such a good teacher. I appreciate how much I've learnt from your videos when I started my data analytics training in April this year. I am happy to say I've been working for a consulting company as a data analyst/SAP Cloud consultant since August. It took me 4 months to transition from Carpenter to Data Analyst and everything you said is true. Training, showcasing knowledge and building on top of every rejection (I got rejected over 500 times over a period of 2 months). Truth is, you only need one to say yes and negotiate a fair deal. All the best mate, happy to contribute with more of my experience if you want to.

[@mo-chen]

Amazing journey! Now you have two professions where you're so good that people pay you to do them 😃 I'd love to hear more about your experience, please use the contact page on my website here datawithmo.com/contact-me/ to drop me a line, or alternatively, just reply to this comment with your email and I will reach out. You did a fantastic job coming back from those rejections, well done!!

[@Dingo011]

Great Job. Just curious. What courses besides Google's did you use?

[@BKSDA1]

@@Dingo011 Thanks! I did a lot of courses with Udemy for Python fundamentals (pandas), Tableau (guided projects - all hands on), Power BI projects and theory, SQL mostly on youtube, Excel you pick up doing some courses or watching videos on youtube as well. Udemy is pretty good because you can purchase their yearly subscription for about $260 AUD and have access to +10k courses. Good luck !

[@deepbhanushali8139]

It's really a nice video. I have 4 years of experience in content operations where i have worked for short video and live streaming platforms. I used to focus more on the growth of DAU(daily active users), explain our app features requirements to design team by analyzing the data and work on user base to analyse revenue of our apps. I realised it much later that, I really like to work on data and present it in simple format to my team. Now am confused how to make a career in it, because am from non tech and marketing background. I just have basic knowledge of excel and seeing so many different courses in the market confuses me!!

[@csms2.0]

Ah, I'm making a career switch from a civil engineer to the Data world, and I'm about to finish the course I enrolled in regarding the same. It worries me what's gonna happen now but watching your videos does gives me a clear path which I should be following to land job. so thank you !

[@squidsweatjuiceoven8583]

No stick to your industry tf that’s the problem with the tech world today tf

[@nobody1552]

If you don't mind me asking, have you made much progress into the data world yet? I'm Also Civil Engineer having worked as a Lab Analyst, just beginning my switch to the data world and it reassures me that im not alone in attempting this transition.

[@csms2.0]

@@nobody1552 yeah I can understand, well so far things are good, I'm still working as a civil engineer in water distribution department, where I have to deal with data based on which I do forecasting (hope you know what I mean). So currently my focus is on building a portfolio and understanding the importance of data within my scope of work. So to answer your question, the transition so far is going fine technically. However, to get a job I need stuff to showcase so I'm working on that. Hope this answers your question.

[@csms2.0]

@@squidsweatjuiceoven8583 bruh, I've done my fare share to the industry and now I just want to explore other domains as well, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

[@nobody1552]

@csms2.0 Thanks for replying it helps a lot. I'm assuming its using data to predict water demand, reservoir levels and flood return periods. It sounds like you're making good progress, and I wish you all the best. I'm just beginning the course registration (potentially back to uni) and initial portfolio building stage.

[@Lifeis_cool]

This video of yours was so encouraging to me. I almost gave up on my hope of being a data professional, thinking I was too old to learn new things or restart a fresh new career, though I am still in my MID-30s. Frequent failures and disappointments get you one way or the other, no matter how self-motivating you are. But these videos are what keep most of us going. Realizing you are not the only one who goes through this, and anyone can succeed if one works towards their goal relentlessly. Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts on your journey and providing many tips and tricks to newbies like me. Have a blessed day, Mo.

Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel like I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! You provide excellent resources and share your knowledge generously. I made the decision to switch professions a year ago and am currently pursuing a second bachelor's degree in computer science. Even though I already had some knowledge of programming, I wanted to learn it the right way. I recently took a class on data, focusing on SQL, and I loved it! I will be following your data roadmap, hopefully, I can land a job or at least an internship in the next few months :)

Hello everybody! I've just started a one year marketing program at college that has some courses about data and realized that data analytics is my future. Then I decided to start with SQL since there are some tech skills I'm going to be taught at college but it's really important to learn and practice more on my own to gain more experience at the end and be more competitive.

Best ever video. Sometimes I want to sit down and cry and give up. "Why rejected again?" I have the skills they want". It makes me think they don't select me due to the age. Example: if there are 2, 3 candidates with same skills, they might select the one that is younger 25, 30, instead 40 up, Which age they will pick? One think that puzzles me: they accept 70 years old person to be President, Congress people, but they don't select candidate between 45 to 60 to do data analyst or other professions. It's discouraging. I really admire you so much or anybody that has a lot discipline, determination, and humble. Thank you.

I'm looking at the MSBA (master's of science in business analytics) program at Sacred Heart, and I was wondering, if I get the Google and Microsoft certifications, will the MSBA degree really make a significant difference in employability/pay? Or should I just stick with getting certifications?

[@mo-chen]

A master's degree at a prestigious university weighs in heavier with employers than certificates. Of course, it also costs a lot more and takes more time to complete so the choice is ultimately yours. If you have the money and the time and want to go for a masters degree, I don't see why not.

Kindly consider this request Thanks

I use SQL mostly to connect to various databases and pull the necessary data and Python to automate a bunch of boring tasks like data cleaning and transformation. In terms of challenges, not knowing what and how to code is obviously a challenge, but this is when you can easily just Google it or use ChatGPT to look up the syntax. This gives you a great starting point if you already know how to code, so then you can tailor the code to suit your needs.
