📄 ABOUT ME:
My mission is to help you grow your career, especially in the world of data analysis. Switching careers to become a data analyst from a non-tech background was overwhelming. I made a lot of mistakes and wasted time trying to figure it out. But having been a manager of data analytics and now a senior business intelligence engineer in tech (FAANG), I've learned a lot and I'm excited to use my experiences to help you navigate your career path. I hope this channel gives you the clarity and motivation to get started!

[@newenglandnomad9405]

Having jumped into learn data analysis to change careers I have noticed something. Learning the tools is fine. Understanding the hypothesis or problem question makes sense. Maybe you've done it already, but I haven't really seen anyone make a portfolio project showing a problem, and how their dashboards solves it. I think it's hard when practicing with kaggle data to find a problem and solve it. When learning I practiced the usual orders customers shipping type queries, but they never really explain what they would do in the office with the results. Maybe those get emailed in a report? I don't really know. I finally get that they are practicing with 20 lines to teach us the basics, when in reality it might be 100,000 rows. Thank you for your videos, honest insight, and resume template. I really appreciate your work!!!

[@agathakang]

Hey this is really good feedback! I tried to incorporate it in this video with how a dashboard solves a problem and how it is used by the company: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3m8hoh4ltylpMUsi=xgXK0aA0KFjvZ0ky I hope it helps!

[@muneebbolo]

I would love to know more about how you decided to start your career as a data analyst. You mentioned work-life balance as a factor, but you didn't mention a solid reason. Speaking for myself, I got interested in data analysis because I was good at focusing on neglected details like observing ingredients or calories on food products. Fortunately, I had experience using Excel in college which helped me take my data analysis journey to the next level with pivot tables, querying data, data visualization, and so on. I suggest that you create a video on why you chose data analysis as a career.

[@ryankawash2847]

I'm currently in school for supply chain and operations management, there is a LARGE influence of data, excel, creating visualizations. The more I learn about it, the more I can see how incredibly important it is for data analysts to exist. I became very interested in the field and now strongly considering becoming at least a junior data analyst

[@countmindlos]

Hi Agatha, can you put together a video that explains the knowledge a junior data analyst should have in terms of statistics. I did an assessment which totally wrecked my confidence in my skills. I didnt know much about P-value and methods of doing analytics, and what are the most common metrics that are used to measure performance. please help :(

[@apamwamba]

P-Value is best learnt by looking at a picture of say two tailed and one tailed hypothesis testing. The actual definition puts me off but the pictures make it more intuitive.stats.oarc.ucla.edu/other/mult-pkg/faq/general/faq-what-are-the-differences-between-one-tailed-and-two-tailed-tests/#:~:text=In%20this%20example%2C%20the%20two,of%20our%20choice%20of%20tails.

Hello! this is very informative. I would like to also see the different job titles or domains.

[@FancyGarbageRat]

I’ve been thinking about becoming a data analyst but I have a few concerns about what kind of data analyst and if it’s right for me. My main concerns are having enough time to pursue my hobbies. Which I don’t expect to goof around so much once I’m in the workforce, but I want to carry my hobbies into adulthood. I am also concerned that my ADHD could impact my performance, but I think training and getting experience with activities related to data analysis could solve that question. My main reasons for being interested in this job is because I think it would suit me well, and the paycheck can hopefully fund my interests and hobbies as well as every day life. It also seems to allow flexibility in lifestyle since you can work remotely. Does anyone have advice on how to find what kind of data analyst would be best?

Sorry I’m a bit confused about the work-life balance aspect. At one point you said when the day is basically over more work can come in unexpectedly. On the other hand you said you prefer this career path because if you make plans to go out with friends for dinner you can count on being able to make the dinner.. so which one applies more now? Do you only have to stay in longer and cancel evening plans rarley? Sorry but this aspect is important to me, so I’d like to know more detail about this matter!

[@agathakang]

The work life balance is generally good. Sometimes there are days I do have to unexpectedly work late but as you get better setting boundaries at work there will be less of those times and more work life balance

[@agathakang]

Good question! This is something I still struggle with but I've learned that having a system for ad hoc work to be submitted and prioritized really eliminates the last minute asks because it is understood by everyone including the stakeholders that the work has to be prioritized through a proper sprint and not just done last minute.

[@MichelleLe-om3fv]

@agathakang thank you ! Wondering if you can elaborate on this more in a video ? Maybe also discuss how you deal with stakeholders (ahem* aka egos) and if they have issues with your analysis results 🤔

[@ProfBoggs]

Your description of being a data analyst and dealing with unrealistic expectations is a lot like being the only researcher on a team of colleagues who possess limited quantitative skills. They frequently have no idea how much work it takes to produce a "simple graph" (or map). They just think you push three buttons and viola! Data analyzed. They don't understand the data collection process (e.g., running surveys using an actual random sampling procedure, or even just finding administrative data sets), limitations of the data, processing/cleaning the data and so on. Especially if you are doing something new. Thanks for the opportunity to commiserate.

Do you need to be really good at math in order to be a data analyst?

[@agathakang]

Hey no I wouldn’t say really good. I talk about this more in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-wZ5ashd51j6csi=IWSHYmQ9ds4xKCbM

Please make a video on the better companies out there for entry-level DAs. In terms of learning, supportive environment, decent pay. Appreciate it, thanks!

Data Analyst == Data Scientist == Programmer/developer==Data Engineer in some places.

[@Ramtinthangofficial]

Do you need a Bachelor degree in Computer Science or something?
