First video watched, loved the aesthetics, transitions and the whole message. Thank u.

For all of you who are thinking about jumping into the world of Data Analysis - go for it! Great video and amazing storytelling!

Thanks Jason!

I enjoyed your visuals ! thanks for sharing your life in New York!

First video I watched from you. Definitely an interesting perspective of your day in the life! Love the storytelling, cinematography, and adding some personal touches to your video. Inspiring!

[@justinshin]

Thank you Earl! I hope you stay :)

[@w1nnfield]

As someone interested in film and data science/ comp sci, this was really fun and motivating watch!

[@VivaBoricua93]

I’ve been hesitant to jump into this field from a completely non related background. This helps me motivate myself. Thank you. PS your video skills are so good that this video comforted me after a distressing day.

[@99tries]

Please do it, I knw exactly how u feel. Coming frm trucking it’s completely new to me,I realized I didn’t wanna truck my whole life and plus I’ve always been good with tech/ma office etc. but once u actually hope into it u realize it gets a little easier the more and more u study and do it. So definitely don’t be discouraged and yea his videos help me as well lol

[@joedouglas2736]

@@99triesfunny I came across your comment I’m currently in the trucking industry so this might be my call lol

[@99tries]

@@joedouglas2736 Man bro that's crazy lol, do it I know first hand u know that trucking industry definitely takes advantage of us daily. I still am trucking but its just until I finish with school but once I'm done I'm out. Not that its nothing wrong with trucking because u can make money, but for me I don't like how they treat drivers especially if you paid out of your own pockets and went to a driving school smh.

[@RaygeQuit]

Wanting to get into data analysis myself! This video really helps to see what I can get into, thanks man

Thank you so much Sal!

[@rahilatre8203]

Hey Justin your visuals in your videos are really something else that I have not seen on this space of youtube! The camera work, color grading, and editing really flow well, and great job on your narration/writing. Hope the channel continues in this direction and best of luck!

[@justinshin]

Thank you Rahil!!

[@Stahe]

I stumbled across this video while doing research into becoming a data analyst. I'm brand new to this field, but I find myself getting more and more interested in it the more research I do/ This video was very heart warming and really inspired me. A sub and like doesn't quiet give you back what your content gave to me now and moving into the future, but you got both from me. Thank you very much for this video. Stay blessed.

[@youngblisslife4308]

I'm a GIS/Data Analyst for a municipality and I find it so stressful to wfh (we're only allowed 1 wfh day every other week anyways) because my VPN lags so much and all my programs outside of online stuff like Salesforce is painfully slow. It takes the joy out of wfh for me. But Data jobs are so broad when it comes to task. That's what I like about it.

[@Orokusaki1986]

Dang, that was a really cool video. You have love in your heart!

[@lukask.2549]

you're such a focused & passioned person. Enjoyed this video so much & greetings from germany!

[@justinshin]

Glad you enjoyed it! I have my lazy days as well haha

[@jabsjc]

Great video! I’ve been working from home as a freelance graphic designer for 2 years now and I don’t have many friends to hang with but something that refreshes me is to get outdoors and do some fishing. Usually alone 😂 but for some reason the sounds and excitement of catching a fish here or there completely allows my mind to reboot. I’m currently looking in to learning either data analytics or ux design so I’m doing my research. Graphic design is fun but the market for what I do is very saturated and sadly my work isn’t unique enough to stand out amongst the industry. Love the video keep up the work. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@youdontknowme8608]

Im currently on a data analyst bootcamp. Your video just makes want to rush the lessons to the graduation day and go on the field. Thanks.

From the looks of it, are u using a RDP to remote a virtual windows machine and do all your stuff there?

[@logansmith8434]

Awesome video! This is the first one I've seen on your page. As a data analyst based in Chicago, the video really resonated with me. I'm interested in capturing more footage of my travels and interesting sights around the city. Can you offer any tips on how to get started and which camera to choose? I'm a complete novice.

[@justinshin]

Yea for sure! I started with my phone and got a mobile gimbal to start so you can start with your phone and go from there if you enjoy it! Doesn’t make sense to pay over 1K for something you might not enjoy later.

[@estherchantalamungalaba5295]

thanks bro! amazing content it was nice stopping through

Yo how are you using power bi in mac book?

[@cyanidesensation6484]

Do we have to learn python before doing data analyst course/degree or is it a part of your studies?

how are you using powerbi on Mac ? are you using parallels ?

Which virtual machine do you use to launch power BI?

[@williampeoples4708]

Hello Justin, I am also an alumnus from BC, and I studied Information Systems in the Carroll School of Management. I recently graduated and have found it difficult to find a job as a Data Analyst. Do you have any tips or helpful words for a recent grad with no internships on his resume? Thank you!

[@ArsamSaleemsMusic]

Hello. Can you please kindly lemme know how you're using Microsoft power bi on a macbook?

[@nodnarbpower1587]

You're a perfect reflection of who I am. Like we both are Data Analysis that does cinematography.

[@justinshin]

Ayyy great choices

[@isaklyberth2640]

I see u using mac, do u use Vmware and if yes how does power bi run?

[@tomasjancovic2378]

how do you use power bi on MacBook pls? with the new chip M1/M2?

[@opejoseph6814]

Hi, wait how did you install power bi desktop on that mac??

[@JackSheridan-fv8zw]

Love the video man! I am curious too if you only use PowerBI or if you use Tableau too? And maybe your thoughts on both?

[@justinshin]

Only powerbi but I would say they’re pretty similar

[@ETcelerate]

What are some advices that you can give for someone that wants to transition into a data analyst? How do I start? What is there that I need to learn?

[@justinshin]

I made a couple videos earlier but in essence it’s to sharpen your skills and then start on projects!

[@KadensPullz]

Quick question when you talked about PowerBI, what is your preferred method of getting data into PowerBI, do you import data directly from SQL Server, or exporting sql data into Excel then importing from Excel?

[@stuckcamping]

It's always better to write your query, clean and allow the sql optimizer do the heavy lifting first before dumping your code into powerbi.

[@AdityaJain]

I was wondering, how he is working with Power BI on Mac? is there a hack for it?

[@calisthenicsgreece8279]

This channel is super underated......

[@justinshin]

That’s so kind of you to say! God bless 🙏

[@mahdibhuiyan8951]

how do you use Power BI on your mac?

[@KadensPullz]

I have a degree in Computer Information Systems and I love working with Excel, SQL, Tableau, and Python. I have recently been studying for the Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst certification. I know certification are not really sought after in Data Analytics, but I wanted to pursue one anyway to improve my skills on top of my experience and formal education. Do you have get any data analyst certifications or related certifications before landing your first data analyst job?

[@polifaceticali8484]

That's a good question. Wich cert. is best in a resume for someone new.

[@BigGhanaChannel]

Do you get health benefits like PTO or health insurance?

[@whooaaapppp]

[@esetpip]

I'm studying right now to become a data analyst. As a future data analyst what are your tips for us and what was the most challenging part of being a data Analyst?

[@justinshin]

Continue to learn each and everyday. I think the most challenging part for me is learning how to validate data. It can get pretty complicated.

[@minhhieupham8812]

Just curios, how could you install PBI on Mac :D

[@akshaypatil8155]

Justin could u plz make a video on how data science dept. in a company distributes work, how the teams under data science dept communicates with each other, communication tools, task management tools, how the works are inter related, flow of work etc etc...Basically behind the scenes....No body is making video on this topic and this topic is super important. It will also give boost to ur youtube channel....

[@tristanpardo3623]

Yes!!!! There aren’t many videos that explain the connection between the 2. I think an explanation would help viewers better understand the data science dept and how we work hand and hand.

[@justinshin]

Hey Akshay, great question. I don’t work in data science but I can say that my company implements agile to our working style. I’ll elaborate more in a future video!

[@andrewdddo]

Hello from Australia! How do you get these nice cinematic slow shots? 😅 love the content man keep killing it!

[@justinshin]

Thanks Andrew! The trick is shooting these type of shots in 60 fps and then slowing it down in post. That way you don’t get as much jitters

[@andrewdddo]
