Hi Lucas, I did exactly what you recommand during the last 6 months. I Learn SQL in December, Python in January, Power BI/Tableau in February, Finish my bachelor's degree in March after 2 years after stopping school, Power BI Certification PL300 + internship in Finance in April and Azure DP900 in May + creation of website for my portfolio + Linkedin Profil and Github profil. Now i am suppose to be ready. I just wanted to say thank you for your help and how you make the path clear and understandable. Now i am looking for a job but it looks very competitive. I am in Europe and i will let you know when i found a job. I am trying my best to accomplish my goal to work in a data role

[@AlSantro12]

[@axelsturm2469]

Thanks for your support ! It's been 2 weeks that i am actively sending resume and trying to contact recruiter. I am searching in Switzerland but it looks too competitive at that time. I need at least 1 year experience (2 is better) so right now im sending application for internship in switzerland and at the same time sending application in France so i can get my 1 year experience. For now i have literally no offer. In the morning i try networking and in the afternoon i try to improve my skills (i am studying on Spark and SAP currently)

[@Mememeep]

@@axelsturm2469hi.. someome told me last time to do small projects and store it on GitHub so you can use it durimg your application. Therefore you can already show that you have experience. 😁 good luck! I sent out 7 applications last time and didn't get any.. but after some time I managed to get an interview.

I'm totally confused on certification and which learning program to choose. But what I've learned is that the businesses don't care that much these days. What they are looking for is experience, portfolio and soft skills. Don't ever forget about the soft skills! I would say that technical skill land you an interview, but the soft skills land you a job😊

[@ErcoleBellucci]

Sad truth is that when you try to become data analyst, there are data scientist or data engineer or ml/ai engineer/research that does this like for free if you go into rabbit hole you'll understand. I started looking for data analyst but is useless because companies want mainly data scientist/data engineer/ml engineer. That's because if they find someone like that and they do "data analytics" they destroy the market

[@kennymontero8610]

@@Qesili Python is rough! Some personal advice, focus on Excel, SQL and Tableau. If you have the time of course grind Python. But my portfolio consisted of a lot of SQL and tableau.

[@kennymontero8610]

@@Allin1Xavi truthfully, remote DA positions are steadily decreasing as time moves forward. Luckily for me i do work remote, and have never worked in office. I must say that the entry level field is extremely saturated but one thing that i have noticed is everyone wants a remote job. I believe it is better to get your foot in the door and gain experience remote or in office (easier said than done). When i started my search 1 year ago i was not looking for specifically remote jobs, once i was hired i was told the remote policy of the company. To sum everything up, it’s going to be difficult to find a remote data analyst job with 0 experience but it’s ofcourse possible but if you are just limiting yourself to remote positions you are going to make you job search more difficult.

They have a lot of different "nano-degrees". It is worth looking into, I took a few of their beginner courses for free, each first course is free but I wouldn't spend my money there.

[@charleslundy7545]

The thing about all this recommended experience, what real uses do any of these programs have outside of the job? I'm 39 years old. I want to get into the field because I need to work from home now, can't drive to cities anymore because of my health. I've never had any practical uses for these programs, and outside of a job it is unlikely I ever would. There needs to be a path way like normal trade school, the companies as large as they are should consider putting together exactly what they want for their entry level employees. So far it all seems choatic, all over the place. But in may years in the civilian sector that is ... normal... Only higher level executives have any real organization to their behavior patterns when it comes to a career. Sigh... It's all so disorganized. I don't like all these choices, the military was difficult but easier at the same time.

[@xxxxMonkeyGirlxxxx]

Over 300,000 people have completed the Google Data Analytics certificate so using it as your sole indicator that you are competent in Data Analytics may result in a very difficult time finding a job. Employers want a candidate that has experience and proof of their skills. The exams and certificates mentioned in this video will show that you know the knowledge that you write on your resume but you need multiple tools in your belt to stick out. You need at least 5 to 8 quality case studies in your profile and be able to speak of these case studies in details during your interview. You also need to find out what companies you want to work for and determine what applications and tools do they use for Data Analytics. All companies are not equal with what they use and you need to tailor your skills and certifications that align with the companies you want to work for. Same goes for industry. If you want to get into the automotive industry you need to be knowledgeable about that industry.
