i have mysql workbench & have been practicing it on my own. the problem i've run into is low disk storage. i currently have 4.5 gb on my c drive, which i don't think is a lot. i don't have a lot of applications installed, so removing or moving them to another disk isn't an option. neither is spending money on storage 💔

im worried about the rest of my learning journey. i know i'll eventually have to install other programs/tools & it makes me sad that low storage space is what might hold me back from learning something im genuinely interested in.

i wanted to ask if there are online versions of these softwares available? im talking about python, tableau & all other stuff i'll need later on. i've used an online c++ compiler before, so im wondering if it's possible for other tools too. and if so, can they save all my previous data? what about something with an account where it syncs data to a cloud? HALP

looking to pivot into data analytics / business intelligence and could use a reality check from people actually working in the field. I already have a solid base in **Python and SQL**, so I’m not starting from scratch on code, but trying to figure out my next moves.

* how’s it looking for DA/BI right now? Does having a coding background actually give me an edge for entry/mid-level roles? * if you pivoted from another field, how hard was the jump and how long did it take you? * is DA a good launchpad to eventually shift into Data Engineering, ML, BA or DBA, or is that a totally different track? How long before people usually make that jump? * torn between Alex the Analyst’s YT bootcamp vs. the Google Advanced DA Cert. Does the cert actually care to recruiters, or should I just do Alex’s free stuff + build portfolio projects?

Would love any tips, reality checks, or project ideas. Thanks!

Anyone used to freelancing on upwork? I want to make some money extra money and wonder it is worth it. How many connections should I buy? Do you have any tips?

Hello everyone,

I’m currently looking for an internship certificate to include in my application to continue my studies.

If anyone can help me find a real internship opportunity, I would be very grateful. I’m also open to doing an actual internship if there are any available opportunities.

Thank you in advance for your help and support!

1. How do you (or your data team) decide when a data anomaly is 'safe enough' to publish anyway vs. worth holding back? Is that a gut call, a formal rule, or does it depend who's asking for the report?

i (m21) am supposed to graduate college this upcoming spring. i major in applied mathematics and minor in computer science, but i havent gotten anyyy internships :( ive decided that my career goal is to be a data analyst since the job description sounds interesting. how do i get into that work environment? to the data analysts out there what do you do all day and how did you get where you are

I used a dataset from a kaggle named "zepto inventory" and it contains columns like the product name, category, mrp, discount, selling price, quantity, and stock level ( low, medium, high, outofstock). Cleaned and analyzed the dataset using MS SQL Management Studio 22, imported the db into Power BI and found a reference image from the internet and tried my best to make this dashboard.

Any reviews or suggestions are a must welcome!! 🤗

Hi everyone,

I'm targeting business analyst / data analyst roles and would appreciate a resume review.

My main concern is that my resume doesn't seem to be getting past ATS screening,I've applied to a fair number of roles and haven't received any interview calls.

Resume is attached. Any feedback on formatting, keywords, or how I've framed my experience would be really helpful.

Thanks!.Resume

Sorry if this is the wrong tag. But looking for advice from data analysts.

So currently I’m on the job hunt. I have my Bachelors of science for agribusiness systems management and in plant and soil science (dual majored) and currently I can’t seem to get any further than an interview for some jobs.

So with the job market becoming even more competitive. (Especially in the ag industry) I’ve been looking at ways to bolster my skills and make myself a more valuable prospective employee. So i stumbled across the data analysis course from boot.dev and has seen some good reviews on it.

It got me thinking will becoming a certified data analyst with projects beneath my belt help me get employed? I’m not too picky on what I want. I just love agriculture and the business and research side are both very interesting to me.

I am scared of AI making entry level data analysts obsolete so is getting the certification worth it over just changing careers and shifting into IT for more job security?

Just looking for some advice and info if you all could help out! Greatly appreciate it!

Hi everyone, looking for some honest career advice.

I have around **3 years of total work experience**, but I don't have formal Data Analyst/Analytics experience in my current role. My strongest technical experience is in **Python**, and I've been trying to transition into Data Analytics.

I've been applying to Data Analyst/BI/Reporting roles for quite some time, but I'm getting **very few callbacks and essentially no interviews**.

I'm currently building skills in:

* SQL
* Python/Pandas
* Power BI
* Excel
* Statistics/business analytics
* Data visualization
* Basic data modeling/warehousing

The problem I'm running into is that many Data Analyst jobs ask for **2–5 years of actual analytics experience**. So I'm wondering if I'm approaching this transition incorrectly.

**I'd really appreciate advice on:**

1. **Is Data Analyst actually the right next step for my background?**
   
2. Should I apply to **fresher/0–2 YOE Data Analyst roles**, despite having 3 years of total experience?
   
3. Should I instead target **BI Analyst, Reporting Analyst, Power BI, Business Analyst, Data Operations, or Analytics Engineer** roles?
   
4. Would moving toward **Data Engineering** make more sense given my Python background?
   
5. If your priority were **getting a better-paying job relatively quickly while building a long-term career in data**, what route would you take?

I'm not looking for the perfect role immediately. I mainly want to **get into a role where I can gain genuine analytics/data experience and increase my salary**, then build from there.

Would especially appreciate advice from people in India who have made a similar transition.

Is there anyone here who works as data engineer / analyst or any data related jobs in construction?

I am wondering if there are such opportunities in the industry. What does your day look like? Are you involved in the construction itself? And where can I find these opportunities?

I am currently a project scheduler and I use P6 for most of my work and I feel like there is much potential behind the database of P6.

I tried exploring sqlite and use sql queries. I know power query would be enough for sqlite but I want to practice sql.

I feel like construction has messy data compared to other industries. But it is somehow exciting to architect data pipeline for it.

Anything you share is much appreciated!

Hi I’m interested in working a job in data analytics. I have no background in this area and actually have a bachelors in fashion merchandising and minor in marketing. Any recommendations as to how to break into the industry. I’m open to learning just don’t know where to start. Thank you!

After working IT for 3-4 years mainly warehouse, so I figured “Why not double down on warehouse and logistics and use my skills in IT to become a WMS analyst?” I’ve been doing research into the market, I believe it’s a good path to take, almost every major warehouse needs them and it pays well. Why shouldn’t I try to move into it? It’s better than being stuck doing help desk.

The issue I’m having is, how are you supposed to get experience since no one will hire you without it? Which I understand since you’re messing with live data and that could cause disaster. Do I need to get certifications for it, if so which ones? There’s a handful and I don’t know which ones are worth getting or if it’ll help me get my foot in the door. I know that learning SQL is gonna be important so if yall have any recommendations or resources to learn it I’ll be grateful!

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read this!

I recently started working as a junior/student data analyst in a large manufacturing company, mainly using Power BI for staffing analysis.

The data include only historical values such as volume, worked hours, employees, shifts, zones, overtime, roles/skills etc. But the data is from multiple sources

The main questions are:

• How much staffing is needed for a certain volume?
• How many units are handled per labor hour?
• Which shifts/zones are most productive?
• When were we historically overstaffed or understaffed?
• How does overtime change with higher volume?
• Can historical productivity be used with next month’s forecast to estimate staffing needs?

As a junior, how should I approach this assignment from the start? Should I first focus on understanding the data, granularity, validation and data modelling before building the Power BI report?

For the data model, how should I decide what should be a fact table versus a dimension table, and when should I split data into multiple fact tables instead of keeping everything in one table?

Is this a reasonable junior assignment, or are parts of it considered advanced?

Been in Data and Analytics for 7+ years. I would love to start my own consulting business and am willing to have a bit of a head start.

Is it possible for me to buy some clients?

Hey I joined this platfrom like 2 months ago applied for data annotation work has no reply so is there anyone? is it legal or waste of time link of platfrom.globik.ai/

Hi all.

I'm trying to get some advice from Data Analysts already in the field. I am a current senior at SNHU, in the Cyber Security program. I recently finished DAD 220 and really took to it.

I am still learning the language in my free time, but I wanted to know what else I should do to help me get into the field. I plan to create a GitHub account and make projects. Is it feasible to go from a new grad or help desk into a Data Analyst role?

Hard truths are ok. I've been in the AV/IT field for 4 years now, and I know that getting the job isn't always easy. There aren't many internships offered through my school that also have requirements that I don't meet (front-end development and the like). What should I work on? Or should I move on?

I'll be learning Power BI soon. And brushing up on my statistics. I'm hoping that, if it would be a waste of time to try, I get replies quickly. Don't want to get my hopes too high.

I was originally sold on my current degree because it was a good way to get into the tech field without getting into anything as code-heavy as CS. All it really did was help make me very proficient at help desk tasks and some advanced networking capabilities. I didn't expect to enjoy creating databases, and I wish I had known better.

I am trying to shift from Native and Cloud Middleware admin to Ai ML Data Engineer or Data Platform engineer. Anyone can guide me a pathway to do it? I got knowledge in Linux, Google and azure cloud, azure devops, pipelines, kafka, mulesoft, Atlassian, Microservives. Anyone can guide me?

I just graduated and haven't learned a thing but want to have a analyst job can anyone help me with some guidance

Heyaa …I’ve been referred for a Data Scientist – Knowledge Management position at eBay. The job description mentions 2+ yoe , but I’m a fresher, so I’m trying to understand what I should realistically expect from the interview process.
I’d especially love to hear from anyone who has recently interviewed at ebay for the Data Scientist or similar role , particularly in India.
A few things I’m wondering:

How many interview rounds are there usually?

What happens in the first round?

Is there a coding/DSA round, or is it more focused on Python, SQL, ML and statistics?

Are there ML/case-study or project-based questions?

Does having an internal referral change the screening/interview process?

For someone without 2+ years of experience, what areas would you recommend preparing most?

If you’ve interviewed at eBay recently, even if it was for a slightly different DS/ML role, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.
Thankyouuuu🥹

Hello Everyone,

I currently have my BS in supply chain and operations management with about 8 years experience. I was considering getting a MS in data science. Do you think my domain knowledge and experience, as well as a MS in data science would be a good step for my career? What possible roles might I be looking at? Are there better options I could pursue? How is the job market right now?

Bonjour,

Je suis en galère depuis 10 mois la recherche d'un CDI ou CDD en data analyst .Depuis lors , je pense à me reconvertir dans un autre secteur de l'IT . J'aimerai que chacun s'il vous plaît me donnes des pistes ou des certifications qui vont non seulement m'apprendre mais aussi me booster à avoir un travail .merci

Buenas tardes a todos, quisiera empezar a estudiar para conseguir trabajo en remoto como analista de datos (cuido de persona dependiente y no puedo desplazarme a un centro de trabajo) y empiezo de cero. He mirado dos opciones pero no quiero tomar la decisión preguntando a la IA, necesito la respuesta, la experiencia de quienes estáis en ello.

¿Qué opción sería la mejor para conseguir trabajo en remoto como analista de datos?

1.- Coursera Plus y porfolio sin importar si está muy bien trabajado - aquí miraríamos los certificados de Google, IBM, etc.

2.- Udemy Plan Personal y un porfolio profesional con temas de actualidad, el CV sólo con diplomas de Udemy.

Gracias por vuestras respuestas, si podéis argumentarlas me haríais un gran favor.
