Amazing tips!!👏🏾 Please do a video about the best laptops to use for data analytics. I currently use a Mac but i want to get a windows laptop

You can use a windows os on your Mac there are videos on KZbin That'll show you how..you don't need to get a new laptop

I totally love this Wale. Communication is the key "So what" of data analysis. The techniques aren't as important to me as the presentation (storytelling). Good communication is everything as an analyst.

Hey Wale, I just wanna say I am grateful for you KZbin channel. I have learnt a lot and it has started me on data career. I have a question, does you age affect your chances in starting a career in data analytics?

[@walegbads]

Hey Kanmi, age doesn't affect your chances of starting a career in DA or in tech as a whole. But as with most professions, as you age, the expectation is that you have built a wide range of experience to be able to contribute on a more senior level. Absence of which might make it difficult for an older person to compete with the much younger folks out there.

Mostly Excel, Power BI and SQL

[@IamYussif]

@@walegbads which of the SQL?

[@Ok-fh3mt]

Most data analysts use excel power BI and SQL as said above (also python and using pandas is often desired) but there are roles that need special tools. For example I have a tool that I use called Alteryx that helps prep/cleanse/validate/automate big data. I also use it to make maps to locate stores to build and to look at the demographics of an area which is pretty cool!☺️☺️

Hi Wale love your contents. How do i land a data analyst job, i now feel confident for entry level roles.

[@Ok-fh3mt]

Hi chioma, I’m a data scientist and my experience is that I was able to demonstrate to my employer that I was interested in learning data analytics. What landed me the role wasn’t necessarily my grades or qualifications (although some places will have a minimum requirement) I was making projects on my own on things I was interested in. My projects were majorly based around mathematics, statistics and data naturally so that definitely helped. Being curious and showing that you are willing to learn is a great way to start in my experience. Wale may have a different opinion though ☺️

Number 1 in my opinion. From my experience as a data scientist companies are wanting to utilise their data to accurately cater their services to their customers. Data scientists are in demand as often companies with large amounts of data do not know where to start when trying to find insights in their data and in the end they don’t bother diving into it unfortunately ☺️
