Hello
Thank you for the brief and really informative content. I just finished my first ever data related course “IBM Data Science Certificate” on Coursera. But I’m not confident enough to start a new career. What should I learn next to become confident enough? Thanks in advance
This is good; thanks.
Started with a 1 year course of Business Analyst and I’ll follow it up with Data Analyst. These 2 fields experience a severe shortage of staff in Europe.
Thank you for your post. And you are spot on. I am a clinical business system analyst lead. and part of our requirements are creating the business requirements, functional requirements and non functional requirements. We do not solution that is for the data Analysts. However in Dallas the mid level is around 75k I am at 117K. However I am the clinical lead and been performing this roll starting in 2006. Again thank you for the post
I'm looking at a post grad that combines both business analytics and data science. I'm looking to get out of nursing and maximize my income . I'm worried because I have the personality of a Dominatrix but I want to be able to get along with people. I just can't tolerate them for very long.
I'm worried about getting into this because I can't tolerate people for very long.
Are there any certifications for Business Analyst? I currently have my lean belt and am looking to adding analytics to complement them.
Thank you for this video
Any course for business analyst ??? That can be done ..?
Possible to get into this with a bsc in accounting?
You can acctually take courses in these courses you dont need to go to university
Many business schools teach their students R/Python, Tableau/Power BI, Data Modeling, and Excel as part of their business analytics major. Just thought I should let you know since your Skills slide could make you think otherwise. Great video and thanks for explaining the difference!
Hey Alex thanks a lot for this video, really informative and perfect timing as I have recently graduated and want to enter the market. I am currently trying to learn SQL, as I worked only with Python and R during my master's in Business Administration. You have basically assisted with my decision to focus more on Business Analyst positions. My question is where would you suggest to start with mastering SQL assuming you were a sort of newbie like myself. So far I have had trouble with that, only watched some videos on YouTube and even finding the right version (I work with a MacBook Pro) has been a challenge. Would highly appreciate your input. Thanks in any case!
Can a bachelor's degree in sociology work as a Data analyst or Business analyst?
Great and brief explanation! Thanks!
Alex, I am 2 weeks away from a learning program at TAMU. A 6 month training program to earn certificates towards Data Analytics. I’m super excited and nervous. I will continue to watch your videos for direction and information. Thank you brother for the inspiration
What could be the entry-level salary for business data analyst ? Thanks in advance
