 Hello hello hello. Give me a second. I gotta make sure this is actually working starting a little bit early. That's okay But I just want to make sure this is working and then we'll get going But I'm just looking at my other screen real quick. You guys may already be seeing this. I don't know There it goes It's working It's working All right. Yeah, we're starting a little bit early just a couple minutes early Um purely because Um, I wanted to I just wanted to answer more questions. Uh, I Let me give me give me one second. I Was supposed to do this earlier. I should have gotten on a Let me mute this. I should have you guys can still hear me, right? Yeah, you guys should still hear me But in like an hour In five minutes, I'm gonna be going on a date with my wife, which is why I'm looking nice today If you consider this looking nice But I can't run over like I sometimes I'll go like an hour and a half hour 45 minutes We'll probably just do like an actual hour this time But let me get over just so I can see the questions Should have done this earlier. I did not and I apologize Let me just there we go and mute that Unmute this go down. Oh, hey everybody. I see a ton of people in there in the chat already. Hey everybody What's going on? I'm finally getting set up. I took me it took me a second. It always takes me a while But listen, we got an hour and five minutes or so ish So let's just dive into questions. If you guys have never Been to one of these before Thanks for coming. This is pretty simple. I do this once a month We have people who are members of the channel who you know support the channel And this is my way of giving back and I don't just get back to the people who you know Support the channel with like a couple bucks a month, which is super appreciated I just want to do this for everybody and so I don't you know only do it for them But they are the reason why we're able to do something like this And so thank you guys to everyone who supports the the channel really really appreciate it But I just come in here and I answer questions Any Q&A any question it can be about any topic really although I do filter them So if it's like a weird question, I just skip it But I answer questions about myself About data analytics about the data, you know markets, you know about hiring interviewing Me personally if you have a personal question, I'll answer just about anything except like weird stuff So you guys can go ahead and start if you have any questions start putting them in the chat And I just kind of filter through and I go as quick as I can Sometimes we have way too many questions and I just can't keep up, but I'll do my best I promise you But let me let me just go through here real quick See if people are saying hi. Hey, sue me. Let me see Amid Are Farshid, I'm not good with names and I typically ruin them, but just know that it comes from a good place Joel. Hey, how's it going? Audio is good. Perfect. Billy. Thanks. This is not a new shirt But my wife got this for me at Goodwill and I love it. It's one of my favorite shirts Goodwill is where it's at. All right, so let me start Actually answering some questions. I'm just saying hi to people But let's see Let's see. Let's see. Let's see What are the basic skill sets to become a data analyst? So the basic skill sets and this is something that I've talked about a ton on my channel So go and check more in-depth videos But I think sequel and excel are like the bread and butter like you definitely need to know those and then after that You know, it's different stuff as well So, you know, if you want to learn a power bi or a tableau like a data visualization tool as well as a ton of others You can learn those I've started recommending people Start to learn cloud platforms like aws and azure. I just think those are going to be even more They sought after skill and needed But it isn't 100% needed as an entry-level analyst. Most companies hire on and then they Then they teach you that but it's better if you know it already But those are some of that and then python if you want to are in python Those are kind of more advanced in my opinion. All right, let's keep going Which google data analytics certification Uh, do you prefer as a beginner? Honestly, the those ones are if you're like a complete beginner those ones are good. Um, but the the The base level one that they created the date google data analytics one not the advanced one That one is just really good for Um, you know entry-level people understanding concepts understanding the basics of skills like the basic basics of skills So it is good. Um, but it is I'm seeing This I don't know what that uh that thing is but it looks cool. Um But those are like the basic basics. Uh, the advanced one is really good But it's all python focused so you don't really learn any sequel and stuff But I personally love love python. I checked out that course quite a bit Took a bit of it as well. It was really good Um The geek surgeon. Thanks for donating man. You know, you don't have to do that, but I really appreciate it Um, will you have a mock interview module for your bootcamp? I don't but I should do that. That's a really great suggestion That's a really good suggestion. I'll I'll look in it. I'm gonna write that down on my list And then billy thomas all joy. Oh, hey, what's going on man? long time no talk You didn't have to donate man that I appreciate though. Thank you. That was really kind of you All right, let me keep going. Let me see Let's see. Let's see Good morning, then sorry. Good morning. How's it going? Uh, let's see. I gotta it's it's hard. I gotta filter through these questions live. So, you know, I gotta I gotta uh Please talk about statistics. So several several Snape's Bay great name. Um, yeah statistics is Is definitely One of those concepts that's really tough to like nail down because there's so Statistics is just one of those things that you use kind of across data analytics, but um You know, it's For most people you're using some type of tool, right? So you're not just going to be like handwriting or free writing any types of statistics if you're doing a heavy data analytics A data analytics job, that's heavy in statistics. You're going to be using tools like sass or even a tool like sbss So these uh statistics heavy software And so if you are wanting to learn statistics, those are great tools to learn Other than that, like when you're using other tools like python and sequel and excel You're using a lot of functions or a lot of grouping aggregations Then you're using aggregate functions. So things like mean median mode Some max min like averages these types of things Those are the majority of what you use especially when you're first starting out Now as you get more advanced in your career as your projects start getting more advanced Then you're going to start using what I would consider more advanced statistics Um, and so that's when I would start looking at things like sass and spss. That's my recommendation to you But there's so many concepts. There's so many other things. So I can't I'm not going to dive into all of them, but Excuse me, but that's my uh, that's my recommendation All right, my thing just skipped down Hey, Matthew. Thanks for joining Matthew. He's my uh, he's my moderator I always appreciate him when he comes and uh and moderates for us Um But thanks for being here Matthew. I appreciate it All right, let me see Billy said appreciate all you do for the analyst community. Thank you. I appreciate you. I really do Uh, next question is and this is one that's crazy popular I hear this little the I get messaged every single day either email linkedin instagram twitter every single day Um, they say will the data analyst profession be replaced by AI? I have a completely all-encompassing video on this I put that out like several months ago And I'm even more confident in in in it now that data analysis is only going to grow over the next several years Especially with especially things like data engineering data science data analysis I think these domains are going to be really big in the next five years reason being is Most companies are not large tech companies Most companies are your typical company that's using sequel and excel and basic tools Now these companies are going to want to and going to need to in order to keep up with You know the markets and all these advancements in technology these companies are going to have to do things They've never done like create a data team or hire on People to actually analyze their data and give them insights and use AI tools This is where people like you and me are going to come in Where all these smaller companies who have never really had a dedicated data team now Absolutely are going to have to have one in order to keep up And so in the next five years, I think we're going to see a large boom in All of those jobs data engineering data science data analysis, especially in freelancing and consulting So, you know just one person kind of going into a company and then growing it from there And so someone like me because this is that's what I do now. I do consulting, you know I go into Companies and I'm like, they're like, hey, what do we do? We want to utilize data. We want to utilize AI How do we do that? I kind of help work them work through that But I haven't seen anybody and I've worked with a lot of different companies now. I haven't seen anybody Be like we want to replace You know this person with AI It hasn't even been even a topic of conversation because we're so far at the beginning It's not even like an option For 99.999 of companies. So I think we're actually going to see quite a big boom in data It's like it's like we have the data boom in the early 2000s That in with the internet and like especially with social media around like 2007 through 2015 Like that was a huge boom in data Now we're getting another resurgence with that with AI. So I think that's my opinion I really do think it's going to be An even bigger industry in the next five years We're just hitting kind of a slump because everyone's like really not unsure about AI right now And the markets aren't doing great and there's war and so now there's a lot of factors that are affecting the market So I wouldn't look at today's market as what's going to happen for the next five years I really do think it's going to grow a lot Let's see Farshid the more on statistics he was saying he was saying essential for data analysis I don't need simple subjects like mean median or I mean some advanced topics like variance analysis 11 test t-test those things are all yes. Those are included in what I was talking about In software like sass and spss. They do those types of things. So yes as you get more advanced Those are the types of things. I just didn't want to dive into those topics But yes, those are the types of things that you could use First in statistics for data analysis Shivani said hey, Alex for entry level data analyst. How can I proceed further? Please suggest really what needs to be covered check. I have a hundred videos on this. I'm not going to dive into it too much Um, but I have a video called how to become a data analyst in 2023 It literally lays out exactly what you need to learn exactly what you need to do. That's what I would That's what I'd be looking at Um I'm already hey, thanks for the donation. You didn't have to do that. I really do appreciate it I said you believe in the boot camp to become a data scientist or that you would recommend me Um, I'm not a huge fan of data boot camps. Um, I have a free one and I do recommend that one That's completely different though But I'm guessing you're talking about things like um springboard or like all these other ones And there's a thousand data science data analyst boot camps out there a thousand of them 99 of them I do not like um because They're Expensive they can be 5000 all the way up to 20 000 dollars. They don't most of them don't have a job guarantee Most of the curriculum is kind of behind and not very good because they don't update it Um, and so it's just like not did the boot camps in my opinion are not great. They work out well for some people But there's a high Uh, uh, a lot of people that I've talked to they have issues with boot camps because they take them and then they never get a job Um, for whatever reason And they don't get their money back And so it's just it's kind of a scammy Some of them not all of them are kind of scammy where they're just not super trustworthy And and they just are really doing it To make money and then they churn you out of there as quick as possible to get the next group in to pay money It's just not a great um business model in my opinion It's it's kind of pushes and leans more towards the like scam towards the scam um So yeah, I don't have any recommendations, but mine is free on youtube. Um, and it just goes through a lot of great stuff So that that one I can recommend How can you find projects a yagnash? It's that how to find projects for data science and data analytics One of the best place that I've had like inspiration for getting cool projects or doing cool projects is kaggle Kaggle you can go there and you can take a look at you get first you get free data sets on there But then also you can go and check out people's projects that they've built themselves I found just inspiration from that because I'll I'll look at this data set I'm like, I don't know what I'd want. This isn't my area of expertise So what would I do with this and I'll go and look through projects that people have made and I'm like, oh, okay You know, they were going more towards the like, you know, they were trying to find correlation between the things I'm like, that's kind of cool or this person trying to find, you know, uh, uh, they're doing us Time series forecast for the future like these types of things. I'm like, okay, and then I kind of get inspiration That's a great place to look and I also have a ton of projects on my channel where I literally guide you through it and walk you through it and you can then go on and build even bigger and better things Let's see Okay, this is a good one the sam Shekwat I don't I don't know how to check a lot Uh, I have completed projects from your youtube channel. I'm gonna move this so I can look more forward Um, I completed projects from your youtube and I'm also doing an internship awesome But I haven't gotten a proper interview from any company. Can you suggest anything that I'm doing wrong? So in general and this is just like general advice, uh, but If you're not getting interviews, it's typically your resume, right? Because that's what all they're gonna see typically before they invite you for an interview Now if you're getting a lot of interviews, then you're failing It's because you're not doing well in the interviews. Um, that's a totally different thing So I would recommend revamping your resume. I have a just released a video like a couple weeks back on um Creating a data analyst resume that goes gets through those automated systems how to write it how to include your projects everything I'd go and check that out But that's what I would say if I could pinpoint it just based off what you said I would say it's probably a resume because you need a good resume to get through those automated systems Then a recruiters hands and then get an interview Why don't I ever talk about the modern data stack? Tobloba, Tobloba Uh, I do talk about the modern data stack. I think the modern data stack is um First off Every data stack at every company is different. I've worked at many companies. I've consulted with a lot more companies Every company is extremely different One a few things that are typically in common between all of them is they're going to use excel So everybody needs to know excel Everybody has some type of database now. There are so many different types of databases sequels a very popular one But some companies don't use sequel at all Excuse me some uh used ones that are how what are they called? They're not erps. Are they now? I'm Uh No, it's not a not erp. I'm losing. I'm forgetting what it's called But there's different types of uh a storage for data It doesn't just have to be a sequel database But most of them will be some type of a relational database Now the reason I tell people everyone to learn sequel is because sequel is pretty transferable to all these different types of databases And if you know sequel you can then go and learn that other type of database Very quickly because you understand how to retrieve and query data and so The modern data stack is very very different across all companies Some are using cloud-based platforms. Some are using on-prem uh databases Some are using, you know, your typical tools like tablo and power bi where other ones are using these really niche products for their domain So I can't nail down a specific data stack But typically it's excel sequel data visualization tool. Maybe python or r cloud platform Maybe data bricks Um, and then there's others as well So that stuff is still very relevant. It hasn't changed too much since I've started making videos Um, although I think cloud has cloud platforms have just become more popular and more of a needed thing for people to learn um Thanks, billy. Hey, thanks for joining man. Uh, he said he said back to work for me. Have a great day in broadcast Thanks for joining. I appreciate it um, let's see Nick weaver I polished my resume have a portfolio made and continue to make projects. That's awesome And I've been applying to countless jobs to no avail, right? Uh, any suggestions to land interviews? So that's really is it happens all the time that happened to me all the time My biggest question and answer me and I'll hopefully catch up to it later But are you working with any type of recruiter and also where do you live? um If you have a great resume you have really good projects. You you know, you're you're working on projects. You you're making progress typically it's How you're applying to these jobs And so I do have a video that I just released on how to reach reach out to recruiters on linkedin That is a great place to look to know how to reach out to recruiters recruiters are the best way to get a job I'm 100 convinced. I've landed most of my jobs through recruiters I applied to thousands of jobs before I started working with recruiters and had such a low success rate It was really depressing. Um, it was very demoralizing to me. Then I started working with recruiters and it's like magic um And it's hard to work with recruiters But it's a kind of a game of persistence Uh, let's keep going Good morning all like to stay but I'm gonna have back surgery in two hours Soloria Saxon. Oh my goodness. Um Well, I really appreciate you tuning in but I really genuinely hope your surgery goes well Um Shoot me a message on linkedin. I want to know how you're doing. That's not fun I've had surprisingly I'm surprising amount of people. I know who have been having back surgeries and even my parents They I hope they're not listening but might need in the you know near future some back surgeries So I I really feel for you. That's not easy um Hi, Alex to become a data analyst. What really do I need to know and covered comprehensively? Check out my data analyst boot camp Check that out. That is that is what I recommend everybody take because it's free And it goes like it genuinely is better than a lot of paid Things you can go on I'll take a lot of Udemy courses You can take a lot of Corsair courses and I promise you because I've taken almost all of them Um, or a lot. It's too many of them my free stuff Is better than most of that stuff. Um, so take that stuff first And I don't know if you guys saw my linkedin post or twitter post Today, but we're gonna be starting a wait list for my own learn data analyst learning platform called analyst builder The wait list is going to be next week. We're opening it up So if you want early access to the platform where you can I have full courses that go Even more like probably two to three times more in depth into these skills Uh that I have in my data analyst boot camp, but now they're going to be on the website So that's like crazy exciting. Um But yeah, that's just check out my boot camp for sure Okay, this is a good one. Baba Darini. Hello Where does one start if you have zero clue about anything data analytics? Um, so if you're literally starting from scratch You don't even really know what data analytics is. You just know that you've heard it's a good job That it's a you know, you can work remotes and it's good pay. That's okay, right? I was once there too I uh wanted a good job that was remote and and all these things and so um, if you're looking for a Completely beginner place to start. I actually think the google data analytics certificate is pretty good My boot camp is amazing, right? It's just it's super good But I don't really cover a lot of like the jargon and the What is data analytics? How does it work? What are the concepts all these things? I think the google data analytics certificate actually covers a lot of that pretty well And I took the whole thing. So I actually think it covers it quite well It's like 40 bucks a month or something like that So try to take it quick Um, because I don't want you to pay like 200 bucks. It's yeah, I think 40 bucks is plenty so Um, you know, that's that would be my recommendation or start with my boot camp You'll just kind of dive into the skills really early though You kind of want to understand like what data analytics is and then dive into the skills in my opinion That's a good place to start Musa oh geez musa you had a question and I it my things skipped down Let me go back. I'm gonna find you I'm gonna find you think my wife just got home We're going on a date if I know a lot of people joined We're going on a date in 45 minutes So I can't do my normal thing where I go over by like an hour Because usually I'll do like two hours of these live streams Um Like I'm still trying to find that just here we go. Here we go. I found it musa Normally I'll go like two hours But I can't do that today. I'm going on a date with my wife. Um, I'm sure you guys can understand I'm sure of it. Musa said, what do you think is it difficult to move from a data analyst to a data scientist? fantastic question, um Let me get some I spilled some water. I'm just gonna wipe it with my hand. That works um It is a much easier transition than trying to learn everything and become a data scientist I'm gonna give you my personal experience and I've Also met a ton of people who have become a data scientist from a data analyst. So um, my experience was I was working on a data science team. I was a data analyst working with data collection and data cleaning and all that stuff And we had a data science team Now under the data science team we have multiple data scientists data engineers database developers Business analyst data analyst. It was a whole thing As a data analyst, I was working with the data engineers and the data scientists quite a bit As I started to learn more started to get more advanced. I was practicing on the side machine learning models and all these things Now There was a point where they offered me a job saying hey, alex We really like what you're doing. We want you to become a data scientist The pay was gonna be a little bit better. I was gonna be a junior data scientist So it wasn't gonna be like that much better um Yeah, but wait for some And I had the ability to transition into data science. I personally didn't Do that because I just didn't like the machine learning stuff. That was not my thing. I like the data analysis side I really liked it. That's why I do what I do now um But I had that opportunity because I started off as a data analyst I learned a lot of the fundamentals of sequel excel and then python Python became a big one that they really were looking for And so I can from personal experience I can tell you that you can absolutely make that transition Especially if you're working in a company that already has data scientists in that company I think that is the best way to do it and that is the number one way that I've seen people make that transition Some people are just a data analyst for four or five six years And then they work on these projects. They create these, uh, you know, all these projects with machine learning And then they're able to make that transition But it's just not as common in my opinion This is a great question and I I actually I really like this question. Give me a second I'm about to butcher this name and I apologize. I really respect you, but I just uh act Acpero gyre That's like semantics like I'm reading exactly how um ac pyroge I'm doing my best. Hi. What are your thoughts on picking a niche as a data analyst? I am all about picking a niche. I have a a video or two on this topic because I think that's what really propelled me farther in my career and made helped me make a lot more money um So if you want to go far in your career and make more money Picking a niche is important. So how do you do it? Well, my degree, um Thank you, Matthew Matthew's on it, man This is why this is why I have Matthew at these things and he graciously comes to them because he keeps people in line That's what I'm talking about lay down the law Matthew. Um Uh Picking a niche is really important. I have a background in healthcare. So I have a degree in recreational therapy I worked in hospitals before that as like an intern and then I worked in a behavioral health hospital So I understand like that side of working with things I was able to use that to transition into health care analytics Which I always recommend people trying to use their background if they're trying to switch careers now When I did that I became an expert in a in a few different areas within health care Things like MIPS reporting if you've ever heard of that it's from medicare Things like claims data icd code cbd codes. I became what I would consider a subject matter expert as me and so When I did that When I was transitioning into my next jobs They were really impressed with my in-depth knowledge of that niche of that domain So I was able to get promoted really fast because of that Um as well as my technical skills, of course, but you know knowing that domain is really important So I would just recommend, you know, for your first job if you have no experience You're right at a college no domain try to think of something you'd like whether it's finance or health care or something Try to get into it and then build your knowledge in that niche But picking a niche is important. I really truly believe that for long term success Evil hero neos is commenting on something I said earlier. He said I did springboard with a job guarantee. Definitely don't recommend it's mediocre at best I applied to over 600 jobs and didn't get a single interview have a msc's out of masters a masters in math too Um, I haven't Dived into springboard springboard has been wanting to sponsor me for like two years They have messaged me for two years wanting to sponsor me. Um, and I don't I don't let them sponsor me Um, because I've just heard too many bad things about springboard and a ton of others I get I get data analyst boot camps reach out to me every day You would not believe offering me like five grand for like one shout out on your youtube video And I say no I if I don't believe in it. I don't let them sponsor the channel Um, I the only one that I've let sponsor the channel. That's a data analyst boot camp is um Oh gosh, what's it called? Oh now I'm gonna lose my mind if I don't remember this Just wait. I'm gonna look it up real quick because I'm I'm gonna Career foundry the only reason I like career foundry is One they have personalized mentors And this is not like a promotion for them. They're not paying me to say this But I like them because they have they have their mentors are pretty good. Their curriculum is pretty good as well Um, I wish it went a little bit more in depth But the third thing is is that it's Genuinely for a boot camp. It's affordable. It's like five thousand dollars compared to most of the boot camps that are double Which is 10,000 So that's like the only one that I personally ever recommended And that's because I genuinely think that for the money and then they have a job guarantee as well So for the money, I think they're uh, they're not bad Let's keep going Thank you for the for that um that insight though. That's good for people to to hear about That's a good one mill spotter. Hey, Alex. I start my first data analytics job on tuesday That's what's up What are your biggest tips for hitting the ground running and making a good impression? That's that's an amazing question um I did I'm gonna tell you what I did um to make a really good impression and to kind of like start Becoming noticed and like making an impact and I'm gonna tell you what not to do and this is what I do With my very very first job So when I joined my the fortune 500 company as a junior data analyst, it was my second like real-time data analyst job Here's what I did to make a really great impression that got me promoted like Just really fast um, the first thing I did was is I spent time getting to know everyone on the team So I just I and I didn't do that I think I did it intentionally, but I also just wanted to do it But I would recommend getting to know the people on your team Whether it's your manager the whatever data people on your team data scientists data analysts business analysts get to know them Um, don't be afraid to ask questions, right? They know you're beginning if you don't know where a database is or a data source or whatever ask questions second thing really learn The systems that they have in place quickly So they're if they have a database go in there look around start querying it a little bit just mess around with the data just to Understand what it is you're working with and where the data sits And then you're going to want to start taking on small projects like pretty quickly just say hey, you know, I've I've gotten through you know, I've looked through, you know, you're Onboarding stuff if they have any I'm ready to start doing stuff, you know, let's get started and start making that impression Once you're there for like two months, that's what you should be doing for like two months is getting onboarded Talking to people getting to know people taking on small projects after that Start looking for ways that you can help out in the business Or in your team that nobody else is doing for example What I did was I noticed that we were doing everything manually and I was like we could automate so much of this So I did that I was like let's try to automate some of this and I started using python and And automating a ton of it Um, sorry, I'm getting messages from a bunch of people about analyst builder Um, because I I just posted this morning if you check out my linkedin and instagram and twitter and everything about analyst builder Uh, it's really really cool, but I'm just getting a ton of messages about it. So um But yeah, that's my biggest tip. My biggest tip is to get to know people Um, really just try to learn as quickly as you as possible like their processes and their procedures And then start looking for opportunities to enhance what they already have Let's see Is python a Reg me for life I don't know what that means Uh, is python a prerequisite for data analyst job preparation? If yes, what level should I reach to? No, it's not a job requirement I have it in my data analyst bootcamp because I love python And I want more people to use it so I kind of force them to learn it and then later on they're like, oh Geez alex you forced me to learn this skill. That's making me more money. I'm so upset about it. No one's ever said that Um, python is not a prerequisite I would say you need to know sequel excel on a bi tool. Those are the three things that you need I would say need In order to like really be confident like starting to apply to jobs Um, python is a is a an addition I'm gonna start using python till two years into it being a data analyst and most Jobs don't require or use python but Even in my second job where nobody was using it. I started learning it myself and wanting to use it I just You guys know me. I just I got a passion for it. So I was like, I want to use this Um, so no not needed Uh Let's see Um There's a ton of questions, but I'm skipping some because I'm already I've already answered some of these What is the website to see the project? I don't know what that means. So I'm just looking I'm looking for um Um nithin and this is about analyst builder. He said hi alex just saw your recent tweet about the beta launch of analyst builder What will the pricing be? Can you share more information about the courses? So this is just a beta launch Um, we're gonna be doing a beta launch and I'll have a waitlist next. Um I'll be like next wednesday or thursday. We'll be launching the waitlist where you can get early access. So In the beta, you're gonna get like a 30 discount on all the courses Um, we're only gonna start with four courses. Although. I already have more that are being made or edited right now by my editor Um, so there's gonna be by the end of the year. I'll have like eight nine courses on there These courses are gonna be priced Around like 30 dollars. I'm trying to keep it affordable, but I'm also hosting all my own videos hosting the whole website I'm not using anything. We coded it from scratch with my web dev team So everything you see is like coded from scratch to be as quick and as good as possible um, so I didn't want any I didn't want any dependencies on Existing platforms that weren't that great. Um, and so I could have done it all really quickly, but we didn't we did it all um It took a little bit longer because we wanted to make it really well But the pricing is like 30 bucks for a core. It's just a one-time fee. I don't right now. We're not gonna do Mentally subscription, although I probably could make more money doing it that way I just wanted people like I like the Udemy style where you can buy a course and access it forever I wanted everyone else to have that as well on my platform And so that's how it's gonna be. I I'm again gonna try to make it pretty affordable because I I would feel horrible charging like 500 bucks or 200 bucks for a course like I hate that drives me insane when people do that So you're gonna have to keep that affordable. We also have um a so if you ever looked at like leak code or There's others that are like interview questions um The interview questions will have a subscription But it's gonna be really cheap again trying to make it really affordable But it's like is the best it is these are some of the best courses I've ever made or seen online and and The questions page are the best questions the best interface that I've ever seen Like I tried to make everything better than every other platform I've ever used That is what I'm going for with this platform Like it is I poured my heart and soul into this. Um, and so yeah, I'll have a wait list and we're going to be launching in september So crazy crazy excited about it. Um I'm not gonna go I could talk about it for hours. I'm not going to I'll make a video on it um He said I I just uh, this is barrett 25. I just recently found your data analyst boot camp. I've just started going through it There's three data guys Where I work so I doubt I can move up soon, but have you gotten jobs after you have people gotten jobs after your course um, I don't talk about it a lot and I I think I should because some people a lot of people ask me that they're like, is this enough to get an entry-level data analyst job I have had Probably over a hundred people just messaging me now that could be more but I have a hundred people or so That I've kind of like mentally kept track where they've messaged me on linkedin Especially most people that's where most people reach out to me And they'll message me be like alex. I literally didn't spend any money I took just your course and I was able to get a job Um, and so yes, you it absolutely can you can get a job with just those things And what's great about the boot camp isn't just learning the technical skills It's also learning about you know, how to write a resume how to create a free portfolio like everything on there is free It's just I wish I had that when I was first starting out. It's pretty awesome. It's pretty great um And so you might and I don't want to keep talking about but you might be asking why Am I making analyst builder when I already have a data analyst boot camp? It's free The data analyst boot camp is free. It's meant it is meant for anybody to be able to access around the world completely for free but Because the nature of the way I made them I didn't dive into every topic crazy in depth which That's what I'm doing on analyst builder We're diving really deep into these things and you'll learn a lot more tips and tricks that I've learned and use About just a ton of different things. And so analyst builder just goes much more in depth um, and so if you're really wanting to like Really get good at these skills then, you know, that's That's where I'd go, but you can learn so much from that free data analyst boot camp philip bomb bomb gardener philip bomb gardener Hey bomb gardener. There's a character. Um On the office bomb gardener I don't know if that's the same spelling, but um He was he transferred from utica to uh to scran that's just I don't know what i'm talking about. Um, philip said hi alex How important is it to have a bachelor's degree in any field for becoming a data analyst? My best wishes from at is that atlanta or like a different country could be a different country Yeah atl is atlanta. I'm guessing at is uh somewhere else I'm sure I'm sure I'm just I should know this. Um, how important is a bachelor's degree? A bachelor's degree is really useful. Um Oh, most jobs require a bachelor's degree now some actually um Some actually require it like you have to have a bachelor's degree and some is just like We would like you to have a bachelor's degree, right? So It it definitely helps get past that barrier like there's a bunch of barriers Um a barrier a first barrier is you know location another barrier is education. So there's all these Hey, baby Just doing my live stream Rosie can come in if she wants Um But it's just all these barriers and so an education is one of those barriers that you can overcome Oh, there's Rosie. I'll pick her up if she wants to be picked up. Um Hi Uh, no, you can see yourself right here. Look Oh, actually you can see yourself right here too. I was gonna say I don't see myself. There you go That's the wife. I told them I told them I had no no I kept it open because it was hot in here Yeah, sorry Yeah, I told them though that We were going on a date and so that's why I was dressed up today and that also why I can't run super over today Oh, I Yeah, yeah, the people do need more Hawaiian shirts. I did not see that I there's I have too many comments. I miss them sometimes I'm sorry Yeah Um, but yeah bachelor's degree is just one of those things that if you have it It's great to have if you don't I still know people who have just a A high school diploma who've been able to become a data analyst. They just got to hustle a lot more in my opinion Rishi Joshi said hi. I know sequel or he didn't say hi He didn't say hi He said I he said I know sequel python cloud. Will it be good to start a career as a data engineer? Um You could depends on what you know with those tools Because I know sequel python and cloud, but I don't think I could become a data engineer So you need to know certain things within those tools Within sequel know how to Ingest and create data pipelines that with python and cloud as well Know how to ingest data pipelines know how to create data schemas. Um, you know a little bit of data architecture Those are types of things that you'll need to know. Um as well as data cleaning You'll need to know those things. Uh, you can't just know a those things and Be able to have it be a data engineer, you know, I mean like there's certain Concepts that you need to know. Um, but yeah, if you keep going and you know those things, then yeah, probably Pilots sensei. This is an interesting one. He said hi. He's a university professor for a decade Lots of stats with spss, which is what we talked about earlier Um many peer reviewed quant papers, but just now learning sequel python tabloid a transition to data analysis now My wife is reading comments and somebody apparently somewhere in the comments. I'll answer that in a second pilot They said, how do I keep my hairstyle on point? Um, I don't know how to answer that question. Uh What level role should I target now? If you've already been a university professor, you're using these things. You're doing research I'm assuming I'm just guessing your education. You probably either have a master's or a phd So you can probably target senior level roles or um A senior level roles probably uh with your experience now if you because Especially if you're going into something you have domain knowledge in that's when you can start targeting senior level even like, um You know, you can even research analysts or research analyst positions There's a lot of positions that you can do and I would recommend probably looking more mid senior level ish Um in my opinion I've doubt I have issues downloading my sequel and mac. Uh Um I recognize that name by the way. I'm pretty sure you comment on a bunch of um I'm get I think it's my youtube stuff Maybe youtube and linkedin. I recognize that name. Um, but I don't yeah, it's hard to hard to know. I would just try to um I would try to You know ask the online community because you need screenshots and a bunch of other stuff to try to figure that out How if it's not working Christian G said can't believe I wasted my time with college. Oh college didn't teach me anything Thank you for actually teaching me. You are most welcome. I didn't um, I don't use a lot of my college education For what I do. I am convinced. I've said this before I'm convinced that um, if I did not have a Uh, a bachelor's degree, I could be exactly where I am today. I'm convinced of it I actually considered going back and getting a master's like three years ago And then I was like, I was like, I don't think I need it. I think it's gonna be more about my skills and experience and domain knowledge and I was right, um so I'm My dog and my cat are about to fight. I'm more convinced now than ever that education is Oh, even in the next I would say it's gonna take a while, but in the next like 10 years It'll be a lot less important. It'll be more about what you know What you know how to use like how to use these skills. Um, rather than education Okay, okay. I'm catching up. Oh not catching up that great. Um gb19 you hey, thanks for the donation You didn't have to do that. Um, you have a video on how to upload code to github Uh, I don't know if I do I mean I need I have it's on my list to make a whole video on github and then get so I I'm gonna be making two videos on that um But yeah, create a repository and then add your files. That's literally all you have to do. It's pretty easy But there's of course a bunch a bunch more things, right? Um But there there you go. Thank you, Matthew Matthew's in here. He's doing the hard work Um Which one's easier to find a job data scientist or data analyst probably data analyst Um data science is just more technical. They usually require more of a more advanced degree like a bachelor's in something statistics mathematics um software engineering computer science whereas typically with Data analysis does not as important. So they're more technical and they usually require a more advanced degree and Um, they get paid more. So it's just it's it's going to be a little bit tougher in my opinion Okay, and Hey, Matthew, I appreciate you getting on to mr. June. I do but I will answer his question anyways Because I'm a good person. Okay. I It I'll let it slide this time You do it again though. You're out of here Um, as many people are learning data analyst skills and the same time ai is growing rapidly So the data analyst jobs are going to be huge question mark. Uh, how to know ourselves We are good enough at a particular skill So I I talked about this earlier in the stream So I'll kind of briefly cover it again But I think ai is going to create is is already creating another big boom in data Especially at mid-size and smaller companies that have never had a data infrastructure or data team in place They're going to need to adapt to the changing Ecosystem of ai and implement these things to stay up with our competitors who are going to start using ai, right? So a lot of these companies are going to want to grow with this But they don't have the expertise. That's where a lot of Data professionals data analyst scientists engineers are going to start freelancing going into these companies building up infrastructure And then building teams now within these companies because you can't just have ai running by itself. It just especially Not in the near future. Will that happen? um So in the next five years, I think there's going to be a big boom again Maybe after the slight recession, especially in the united states are going through like a slight recession, I would say When we start getting out of that recession and there's a big boom in the economy again We're going to see so many companies that have never hired data teams hired data teams um, so with ai Here's what I recommend. I I firmly believe you still need to know these skills well Um, I've been I've used ai ever since it came out and I've used them in real projects And there have been so many times where I'm like this approach that ai is giving me is not a good approach It's gonna cost Cause the system to be slower. It's gonna do this or that that came with experience, right? And so Knowing those things really helped me utilize ai, but I'm telling you if I did not know Let's just say sequel if I didn't know sequel really well when I was using ai It was giving me a lot of recommendations that didn't make sense for the use case And then I would prompt it and I'd be like, hey I don't think this makes sense because of how it sits in the database or how the schema or how we're retrieving the data You know Is there a better way to do this? So that's more efficient And then it would kind of create it and then I'd have to adapt it to what I was doing So I still think you need to know these skills quite well But ai ai is definitely a great tool. I've really liked using it. Um, it just It isn't that it isn't that magic that that silver bullet or magic Pill or whatever you want to call it that a lot of people think it is But it's still You still need to know the skills to use the skills Uh, let's see. What is data cleaning on the 99 percenter? Uh, data cleaning is when you clean data And it was a lot more advanced that of course. I'm just joking. Uh, but I have a lot of videos on data cleaning So go ahead and check those out. Um, I just in every skip in every tool I show you how to clean data but data cleaning essentially is taking it from its raw state And then cleaning it and making it more useful whether that's changing formatting whether that's actually reshaping and pivoting the data um, for whatever use case you have and it It is very dependent on Uh, the data itself on what you're going to do within how you clean it Coco CNX said alex I'm from france came into came in canada I have followed the path to become a data analyst, but I have been job hunting for three months is really hard I am frustrated really started to hear that. Um, I mean Three months is I mean three months is a long time. I totally get that it took me about six months to land my first job Um In canada, I know they have I don't know if you've been working with recruiters highly recommend working with recruiters um, you could even look at uh companies like What uh, why all of a sudden do I forget things when I'm about to say them? There's companies like Accenture tcs that do uh that hire like You know people that are just starting out and make them consultants for that company you can gain some experience Um depends on where you are and it location does matter So if you're in the middle of nowhere, it depends on where you are, right? So middle of nowhere, it's going to be harder to find a job If you're in like a hustling bustling city work with some recruiters try to help them try to have them help you land a job Oh, this is a great question. Uh, George Mendez George This is something that I've told people to do before so you're asking a really you're asking a person who's done this himself Um, and so this is a great question This question says what do you think about starting a startup? And listing yourself as an employee at your own startup on your resume for your first job If you genuinely have a business that you want to create Okay, uh, I didn't do exactly this I'm getting a lot of messages I didn't do exactly this But I did start my own company met years ago like two years ago and I was You know like the CEO of my own company and I like put that on my resume and stuff So I I did do that. I do recommend so this exact use case. You have no experience You create an LLC. You call it, uh, George analytics. I'm just keeping it simple. Keep it George's analytics And you add yourself as a data analyst in your company. I do not think, um, I think if you are actually Building things if you actually can get like even just Internship work or whatever you want to call it. I think that's still a really cool idea Like if somebody came in as a hiring manager and I was a hiring manager I'm not right now as a hiring manager if I had seen that on someone's resume I'd be like, oh, what did you do? They're like, they're like while, you know, I was working at this place I really loved analytics and I was like, I really like this is my like passion I know this is what I want to do. So I created this company I started doing some work on fiverr or up work or volunteering and starting growing up a clientele If you phrase it like that That shows me a lot of initiative a lot of hustle. That's somebody that I would like be really impressed with So, you know, I wouldn't use it to necessarily lie and be like I've worked at this company for three years I've been using these skills for three years It could backfire on you, especially if you get in there and they're like, hey, you've worked as an analyst for three years You should know all these things and you don't know them that well. It could backfire But I think it's a really interesting idea. I genuinely do Dawson gender Alex, you got me into Maven analytics. They are great. Super grateful. Yes. Maven analytics has some great stuff I I do like their stuff They just they're they're very course heavy And it's just courses analyst builder is going to have courses But integrated into those courses is going to be that editor window where you can practice questions as you go And you kind of solidify those skills So, I don't know. I don't want to get ahead of myself and say it's going to be better This is going to be a beta launch. Um, but Maven analytics Definitely recommend they're great. They really are great Limitless queen you can do anything you want Anything you want to do? Yes, you can anyone out there can do anything they want to do. Just gotta takes hustle Nem said, can I work fully remote for my third world country in a first world country and how? Yes, it is absolutely possible. Um, it takes a little bit of hustle a little bit of grind But I've worked with people from all over the world. Um On back on my team We would hire we hire people from london. We hire people from lithuania from india all sorts of places And in india, there wasn't like Bangalore or like other major plays like these are plays I I looked up. They're very small places The way that we had found some of these people were through like consulting companies Like they had worked with Accenture or tcs or, you know, some of these other ones Um, so they they got connected with them and were able to then work with our team And so that's one thing I can recommend is try to find some type of like consulting or recruiting company or I guess consulting company where you can kind of be um outsourced for some of this work um, I you can definitely can also um start working out like Like I was saying earlier five or up work start bidding Like putting in bids for work at a lower rate so you can gain some experience And that's how you gain clientele, right? That's how you start like working with people repeatedly Start working with one person one time. They like your work. They'll Have more work for you in the future I just just so you know we have 12 minutes. I'm going on a date with my wife in 12 minutes So I can't stay longer Although She may not be ready yet. So maybe I'll stop when she's ready. We'll see what she thinks about that Uh, but um, I've answered some of these questions. So I'm skipping some How do I know I oh so Andrew? T Andrew Andrew C I don't know how to pronounce. I'm sorry. How do I know I am job ready for data analyst I don't think anyone ever is like Confident that they're job ready. It's hard. It's hard to know, right? um, I think that if you know the skills And you know how you know some of the topics So like if you know seek some sequel, you don't have to go crazy in depth. Just know it's like joins, right? If you know those skills, you know excel maybe a little bit of a power bi power data visualization tool I think that at that level most entry level data analyst jobs you should be ready for No concepts like data cleaning no concepts like, um, you know Data manipulation or just data querying how to query and retrieve data These are simple simple things that go a long way especially in an interview These entry level data jobs. They shouldn't be They should not be Hiring people with 10 years experience for these entry level jobs So if you can get in there and just say hey, here's what I know Here's what I can do and you have a good resume like work with one of the resumes that I've created on my channel I think you should be ready. I don't I got my first job just knowing excel in sequel Um at the healthcare analytics company. That's all they really wanted They wanted someone who knew sequel and I just kind of barely knew enough sequel I even failed my technical interview at that place. They just really liked my personality Um, but if I had passed the technical interview, they wouldn't have had questions about me I just would have they would have hired me on for sure Um, so don't overthink it too much. Don't overthink it too much. I think if you know those things Start applying while you learn start applying This is a I don't I'm going to read it, but I'm not a hundred percent sure on the answer Mamata Kadam said hi. I'm a senior bi developer with 14 years of experience with a masters in business intelligence Or experience an msbi. I don't know the microsoft bi microsoft power bi. I don't know msbi if anyone knows that I guess that's microsoft power behind. I don't know dot net major msbi Um, I want to move into being a data analyst. Can I get a job in that role? Will my experience matter? Absolutely. It'll matter. Absolutely. That'll be great experience to have you have a lot of technical skills I'm sure you have domain experience at this point um I when I was in my last main manager position We made someone who has a data analyst. She wanted to become a bi developer So you're a senior bi developer. So her skills translated to being a bi developer We had she was our power bi developer And I'm sure I'm very confident your skills will transfer as well But of course, you know, you also will need to add in there some sequel. I'm sure you've used excel But yes, I had that experience will um, that will help and you definitely can get a job. I'm sure of it Uh Riesel Kabir said is it necessary to know azure or aws as a beginner data analyst? You don't need to know it Although it is very helpful. I think it's a good selling point for a lot of companies So it's one of those skills that because I'm about to do a tutorial series on both of these azure aws maybe like a four or five part series and I'm going to add that to my boot camp because I do think it is worth knowing for sure scrolling through questions Rajat Gump Gupta said do you think I see which is individual contributor role is better for a manager Or a managerial role is a central for growth with 10 years experience um I Very very dependent on what you want to do I personally when I became a manager, I liked it for the first several months six seven months and then I missed being hands-on. I missed writing the code. I missed building things Um, it wasn't for me But that was definitely accelerating the growth of my career quite quickly So if you're looking for growth and more money Managerial role is great If you are like me and you want to be more hands-on you want to like build things and that's what you want to do You can still find manager titles That are individual contributors When I was job hunting before I got my manager role Um, there was a job titles called a data analytics manager But it was an individual contributor role where I'd be building a lot of stuff Unfortunately, the pay wasn't that great. Um, it was like Let me restart that the pay wasn't that much more than I was making then and so I was like I don't want to be I at that time. I wanted to be a people manager I wanted to manage a team and so You know, I what was it for Walgreens? I think it was for Walgreens or um Yeah, maybe it was Walgreens or one of those like healthcare one of those healthcare pharmaceutical companies Um, but I didn't want to be an individual contributor. I wanted to make people manage But knowing myself now that individual contributor role would have been pretty good. I probably wouldn't really like that Oh, oh geez it skipped down again All right guys. I got about seven minutes Let me see Let me see It does it all the time. I can't control it Um mckayla lasardo said alex, do you think the marketing analyst job market is saturated? I think The data world in general is saturated and it has been for the past Ten years. Um, it's always saturated. You just have to find ways to to market yourself Find a way to work with a recruiter. You get a really hustling grind That's just the tech world and it kind of has been like that for the past Five plus years at least at a minimum. So yeah, it's it's everything's always going to be saturated If you let that stop you though, you're never going to make it. You just have to push through that Sujoy Doss said I missed the initial part. He said hi alex I missed the initial part of the session. No worries. You can go back and watch all this I've answered a lot of really great questions today a lot of really really good questions Mario said how easy is it to transition between pl sequel and t-sequel? Are there benefits to learning one over the other just different flavors, man? Just a different flavor ice cream. It'll still fill that belly Uh and make you happy My wife liked that one. Um No, both are great, right? Both are great. Uh, whether it's whether using an oracle database Both great sequel sequel light. Uh, my sequel. There's so many different flavors They all do the majority of stuff t-sequel and pl sequels will have just other Synth taxes other things that are in there. Um, so now I don't think there's a massive benefit I personally know several different flavors of sequel and I put them all in my resume. I think that's helpful Let's keep going Uh, zane said hi alex. Do you think the official Microsoft pl 300 power bi certification is worth it? I think if there are is a job that you're wanting or in your company, they know power bi I think the power bi certification is actually pretty good tableau also has a data analyst certification I think is pretty good. So Both of those certifications are pretty good if you want to be on the more data visualization side. Um, I didn't find it Needed or useful for my job Job hunts ever But it definitely could be definitely could be for you Matthew's out here deleting people watch out But he's not deleting people. I mean you still have a youtube account. He's deleting messages. He's on it, man Don't mess with Matthew What what machine do you use for your job? I use I have an hp omen. It's a gaming laptop, but it processes things really fast has a really fast processor Um, and it's really good for also my all my content creation. So like when I make videos and stuff It's good for that too, but it's also really good when I'm working with like python and stuff because it has a good memory How it has a really fast processor And so I I'm able to do exactly what I need on it But I know a lot of people who use max and who use dels and uh, you know all sorts of laptops I think what's just important is a good processor enough ram I recommend 16 at a minimum 16 gigabytes because 8 is not enough from like memory and stuff Um, and then like, you know, you're gonna need storage, but you can always get like an external hard drive or something Um, that's just a tangent. There's just a small tangent Let's keep going. I got it. I got a I got a plow through some of these Can you review my resume and I used to do this so Back when my channel was smaller. I used to have anybody could send me a resume And I would review it and just send them back feedback and I loved doing that I really did it was it was great because I just I like doing that for people Unfortunately as my channel has grown I get like 10 of those a day And I have a full-time job three kids. Uh, I got a lot on my plate So I just I don't have the time to do that anymore. I really wish I could I just don't have the time anymore to do that so Jalego a lego I don't know our guided projects useful in my resume slash project or should I build every project from the ground up If you've never built a project before Do guided projects. That's how you learn how to do projects. It's a skill Knowing how to build something from scratch is a skill. You can't just start doing it So I highly recommend doing guided projects to learn these skills and then go and try to build your own But guided projects. Yeah, add them to your resume and then replace them as you build your own better ones Uh lyrics data changes lives I got a job as a fin tech analyst after going through your course Uh, congratulations. That's fantastic. So someone was just asking that earlier. Can you get a job as a data analyst just going through your course? There you go. Um, he said, uh, what advice can you give to me, please my advice is You know, this is something that we actually mentioned earlier if you just go in and try to learn as quickly as you can to their databases get to know people on the team and Sorry, something distracted me get to know the people on your team And then after about a month or two start looking for ways to improve their processes Whether it's automation, whether it's decreasing the manual work, whether it's, uh, you know Reducing how many spreadsheets you're using consolidating whatever you can do to improve their processes and make their lives easier That shows a lot of value a lot of value Matthew's out here just He's he's getting it. Don't mess with Matthew today. He's on it. I can tell what? Matthew's my moderator People are just spamming spamming questions And he's on it He is on it. Let me see um Looking good Yeah, people better get their questions in there this quick any quick Yep, it's daytime Now you get a you get a little too comfortable on stream Can I be honest a little a little too comfortable? All right, uh, this I'm gonna answer like two or three more questions and I'm gonna get going Gb 19. Hey, you don't have to keep donating. You can just ask questions. But thank you. I appreciate it Can you freely? Can you freely share power bi projects like tableau? This is always it's always a tough, uh, thing to share power bi projects There is a way to do it. Like can't remember how to do off top of my head There's like there is a web based version of power bi, but you need Like a microsoft account in order to do it. I can't remember off top of my head how to do it But there is google it ask chat gbt how to do it. Um, how to do it for free without paying for it But yeah, I'm pretty I'm like 98% sure there is I just can't remember. I'll stop my head Mark. Thomas said hey, Alex. I'm sorry mr. Stream supply chain major seeking to enter data analysis But seek to find mentors first. Is this a good idea? What's coming up for you? So mentorship is always a good idea. I did I mentored random people that I met online Like through my youtube channel I mentored people for two years and I can really honestly say that a mentorship helps so much But it's hard to find a good mentor. Um, I don't offer mentorships anymore because I have my full business and youtube and everything So it takes up a lot of my time But I would recommend if you know somebody personally just ask just say hey I'm thinking about going into data analysis could I just ask you some questions? And then in that course, you know, maybe you could ask them if they would kind of be a little bit more hands-on You know talk be able to talk to them once a week for like an hour Just somebody who can talk you through the process walk you through what it's really like Um, absolutely. And what's coming up for me? Um, I don't have any mentorship on mentorships. Nothing Mentorship's nothing. Let me see if I have like one more More question Matthew's got the the Lenovo pro Seven I All right last question and somebody who donated so I I can't not answer it because I feel bad Um, Michaela Lazardo, which I answer any questions earlier.
