I think having mathematics, economics, computer science background is very relevant. Going through data analyst job adverts this background is their basics.

[@mariamadebola]

You're right, they are relevant, but they aren't the only important skills recruiters look for.

[@ogbodojnr42]

Omg the part where Tina talked about "learn coding in 8 hrs" really got me because that's so me...and sometimes the whole thing feels like a zigzag movement...like where the heck am i starting from. Thanks Alot Mariam and Tina for more clarification. You guys are the best 🥰🥰

[@Jane-FrancesCU]

Most of them do touch everything in 8hrs or so, it just won’t take you 8hrs to finish the video. Might take A week to A month or more to watch, learn, and grasp it. You won’t become a pro but you’ll know enough to start working on projects because that’s what will give you experience and make you better.

I can't remember how i stumbled on your channel, i must have done so in my quest for knowledge about data analytics and since then i have not looked back. Very insightful, i have indeed added to my knowledge by watching this video.... When i get tired and want to give up i come here to get some inspiration 😊 I just finished my sql course on Udemy and youtube abiut to launch into excel which i have quite a good knowledge about and power BI, i am also trying to do a project on it,, this video just provided me with ways to go about it. Thank you sis Please, I have 2 questions for you Mariam Is there a difference between data analytics and data analysis? If there is whats it all about? Secondly, i hear a lot of noise about how much a data analyst can earn both in Nigeria and abroad even as a beginner which is funny, to be honest i get motivated 😉 when i watch such videos even though i take them with a pinch of salt. How much is the feasible paycheck of a data analyst?
