The one thumbs down is someone that couldn't hack it as a data analyst and got demoted to data entry. Great vid Alex! You da man!

[@malcorub]

....or they hate celery.

Hahaha must be! :D

Really - what was the problem ? was that a colleague. I suppose at least they didn’t get rid

[@asadon1950]

What great timing. I'm sure most people like myself are in their annual review period wherever they work. This helps me know what I should be looking to add as my goals for 2021. Learning celery and python are my top priority.

Just randomly found this on my home page. Thanks for the advice. I'm a Junior DA with a masters in engineering and was wondering about what steps I need to take to make sure I'm ready for a mid-level role

[@gizellakatalin]

Hi Alex! It's been a while since I found your KZbin channel and it has helped me with defining what I really would like to do. I am at the doorstep of the switch to becoming data analyst, and I really believe that on top of the technical skills, it really is the mindset and willingness to learn what it takes to progress in this field. Thank you for the informative videos, and for making me laugh in the middle of the night, listening to your complaints about celery. Try to juice it, filter, and have a shot in the morning. It does you good. ;) Cheers, Katalin

[@OkonkwoPlaysBass]

A bit afraid since I jumped from Jr. to Sr. in a job switch, but they understand needing to ramp up the skillsets and they have faith in me. Granted this is going from a 300 person company to an 80 person one, so perhaps role inflation was inevitable. Great AMA!

[@mustacheman43ver]

Thank you, this was really helpful! Sadly all of the entry level data analyst jobs I’ve been seeing having high expectations and require a strong technical background

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

I hate seeing that - there are definitely some good ones out there, but apparently are not as common as the ones with unrealistic expectations.

[@BadassHoneyBad]

Hey there, enjoying the content so keep it up! Biggest thing I would add is you have only focused on the technical skills here and not the other aspects that come into data analytics. From a technical standpoint I personally do not think there is much of a difference between Mid level and Senior level, slight improvements yes but the biggest technical difference is between junior and mid level. However from a problem solving there is a big difference. e.g. junior analyst you produce the data which is ask of you, mid level you think more about what they are asking and find ways to add additional value or highlight opportunities you have notices. Senior level you are comfortable going back to a CEO or head of department level figure and asking is this really what you want because half the time they are not asking the question they really want solved. Final thing I would add is you skill of communicating the data, you may be able to produce the most accurate model but if you cannot communicate the findings it will likely be forgotten.

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

That's some good additions for sure! Thanks for adding you thoughts!

Hello there Alex ! Thanks for the great content, I personally enjoy your podcasts with a cup of tea before going to bed. :) I’am on my senior year for my master degree in finance and I’ve been learning to code for a couple of months now. I’ve decided to join a bootcamp next summer so I will really appreciate if you could make an episode about them ( boot camps in Europe) take a look through the syllabus give you opinion and give maybe advice on what would you recommend us to study by our own to complement this formations. Some bootcamps I’m considering here in Europe are: code works, iron hack, le wagon. Thanks a lot for taking the time to read me. Greedings from Your fan no.1 in France ! 😊

Hey Alex. Just found your channel a few days ago. Thanks for explaining data analysis and videos pertaining to beginners. Ill keep surfing your videos. No idea why celery is a key word though.

[@brothermalcolm]

[@matthewwolfsfeld3105]

Dude, Alex. Celery is awesome.. it adds a depth to the stock that you’re putting it in. In better news, thank you for this! It helped me evaluate what my skill level sits at and it’s helping me locate jobs that I’ve got a great shot at getting!

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

I have my doubts, but my wife says the same thing haha and you're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@MrZola1234]

I transitioned to a data analytics role in my company. I'm 9 months into a 1 year rotation through 4 departments. A few things come to mind: 1. Somewhere in that middle to senior level one probably needs to think about getting some statistics skills, maybe even could be the right masters program for this field. 2. I am concerned that a lot of the analytics roles that are so plentiful will be eliminated by the development of machine learning and the more advanced technological development of the programs such as BI and Tableau. The field may end up over the next few years becoming a hybrid of data analytics, data science, data engineering. 4. I think a lot of folks also should consider advancing in a particular domain after they reach mid level analytics/data analysis. Leaders in marketing, sales, risk ecetra all will be folks with these base data skills in the future.

[@amirjayousi149]

looking forward to hear more from you as you get to senior level

Thanks you so much. Its really helpful, am stil inl learning process. How I wish I can have you as my mentor

[@julia_in_tech]

It seams so weird, cuz here in Russia they require you already to have Bachelors or to be in the process of obtaining one. Also you should already know one of the languages Python or R and obligatory SQL ( in advanced queries and most probably some window functions, yet window functionality are not required solid) and other then that they also check in on your statistics knowledge! And it is all for Junior positions, I also had a case study on one round of the interview

Hahaha now I know for future questions featured on the show :D Thanks for watching and being a great addition to the channel!

[@Mhziko]

Inspired by Alex & few other KZbins, I landed an analyst position last month with SQL, intermediate PBI, and very basic Python knowledge. My team expects me to help them with Python migrating local DB to Azure which I completely have no idea about. My English is not bad but during the team meeting, I mostly remain silent and google the keywords and acronyms they use. I haven't been assigned any complex project yet but I spend almost 4-6 hours outside of my work schedule on learning and revising resources and I am so far until now very passionate about it. But what I am really worried about is the possible burnout. @Alex would you mind sharing your thoughts on it, please?

[@rahuljose275]

Great content! As someone who has a Masters degree in Analytics and 4 years of work experience as a Data Analyst in total (including 2 years at the current company), I have now received an offer from another team in my current organization for an opportunity to handle supply chain optimization. The title being offered is Supply Chain Engineer. Should I consider this ? Will this be a good opportunity for my career? As mentioned earlier I have completed 2 years at the company and I also think I should start asking for a promotion to my current team for a Senior Data Analyst. Your thoughts on that ?

[@CunningCaracal]

I've come to like this a lot and am thinking of either making a career change to Data Analyst or trying to grow quicker within my role by learning skills like Python. What are your thoughts?

Dude, celery is an underrated veggie. It doesn't have to be the a favorite veggie but it's solid and can be a filler. It's really good if you put it in a smoothie and mix with something naturally sweet like apples and bananas. And yes, it's only segment I forward to when watching your videos. All this talk about entry level and senior level data analyst doesn't sound fun. 😁😂 Seriously thanks for another informal video about the different levels of a data analyst. Much appreciated!!

[@tinylittleanj2]

You need celery for concurrent task programming in Django. So it has that going for it I guess… You also don’t have to eat it then, so that’s a win!

[@kevinsobalvarro8020]

Hi Alex, now that you’ve gone over the Google Certificate, have you changed your views on certificates? Especially for people who do not have experience and/or a Bachelor’s Degree.

[@shardulmakwe8668]

Hey, Alex. Have been binging on some of your content for a while now. And largely, it has been quite informative - even the 'A Day in the Life Of' video. For this one, you asserted that an entry-level Data Analyst role might not require R or Python. I have been looking at job-descriptions in Canada for Data Analyst roles for a while now and I have to say - I have not seen any profiles that do not explicitly need Python and R, along with SQL, Tableau/Power BI, and MS Excel. Can you throw some more light on this? One caveat is that most of the roles I have seen are related to finance. Is the inconsistency because of the domain?

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

That's a great question. There are certain domains that do require different skills more often. I would say that finance is one that is heavily math based and so I'm not surprised that you're seeing a lot of R and Python. Other fields like Healthcare, eCommerce, Advertising, and Marketing may not have the same results.

[@sergioramos3437]

Celery is necessary! What else would I eat with my wings ? Every week I watch these I wonder what the larger play is with this channel .. extra source of income? Future main source of income ? Career boost by becoming a visible authority on the subject matter ? Benevolence? Some combination of the above ? You don't have to answer lol but that question has been gnawing at me

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

Gotta get those carrots man! Carrots > Celery for wings. And my plan is to keep growing the channel. I mostly do it for a hobby, but there is the side benefit of potentially a career boost? And yes to the extra source of income. Definitely doesn't hurt!

Unfortunately, I would agree that you’re at a disadvantage. Since most require a bachelors they will prioritize those people over you for the most part. Having a personal connection who can get you an internship or an in with a company is a really good bet. It’ll allow you to get some experience which will go a long way.

It does. If you have a masters in education and go into teaching you are going to have a different story than someone who has a masters in Computer Science or Analytics.

[@Vintagetube310]

SQL is a great database tool. However, the role you will be asked of with an MBA is going to demand far more skills and knowledge of just knowing and understanding SQL if you want to get into data science. Also, be careful, SQL has a very steep learning curve because it requires coding as well. Take your time and really invest in understanding these programming tools and how they would apply to real life scenarios. That's the main key, is to understand what your manager is asking of you ( in terms of data) and how you can not only extract that information and build a data visual to show the results, but also being able to explain it to stake holders in a simple understandable manner. Good luck in your journey. It's a fun field, yet challenging field.

Hello alex, i want to apply a job as data analyst but i could not tell the level. Can i share with the description job to your email??

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

You should share it in our discord channel - you can join it on my channels homepage on the banner. We have about 400+ data analysts on there and we can definitely help :)

[@andrewscholar5706]

I already signed into your discord. But i don't know to put my question on your discord

[@mightyshannon]

@@AlexTheAnalyst I am looking to start the data analyst google certificate program. Would I need to be fully certified to join the discord chat or is that a resource I could join now to help me through?

[@michaelzulueta2365]

What is your discord channel?

[@mapsaison96]

Selery is ❤because it sounds like SALARY to me. It makes me boost my skills and dedication when i hear it on 😂✌️

[@homeoftheobsessed1168]

What kind of salary range would you expect when you reach the senior level analyst?

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

Differs from area to area, but probably around 80-110k - somewhere in that range.

I hate celery as well, but not to your extent. I can eat it. How about a celery-radish ice cream?

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

That's blasphemy... lol :)

Here's a Celery joke -- I'm waiting for my first Data Analyst Celery soon to come

[@TheBBG31]

Celery !

[@mercantilism954]

Is there a reason why you didn’t mention entry level?

[@AlexTheAnalyst]

Junior and entry level are the same. Those jobs will have the same job descriptions and pay, but some companies call them entry level and some call them junior.

[@mercantilism954]

@@AlexTheAnalyst thank you! Junior sounds better than entry level

Celery is great in soups
