    “Don’t quit” is definitely one of the biggest pieces of advice for people wanting to break into the field. Took me a year and a half of that horrible trial and error learning, quitting, starting again, and networking to finally land my DA role, and I don’t regret a second of that journey.

      @@KyleWilliamsMusic1 I'm self-taught. From my experience, I would start with Microsoft Excel. Almost every company uses this to do their data analysis. Many people claim they know how to use it, but I beg to differ. There is so much to learn with MS Excel.
      Another important aspect is your analytical and communication skills. If you master these two skills, you will thrive in any workplace and potentially increase your earnings.
      If your starting out, don't be afraid to make mistakes, we ALL make mistakes. The important thing is to learn from those mistakes. Don't be frustrated at it though, try to chuckle at it and think back as to why something hasn't worked (problem solving).
      Just work hard and never give up! Life works out in the end if you stay patient and persistent!

      @@mindpower3922If I average it out, I'd say about 4 hours. Once I found a structured, supportive, and rigorous (beginner to advanced) training course, my training was more meaningful. I bought my own license for pbi, used real data sets, and set goals on what I could extract/ visualize. If I'd go back, I'd first get really good with excel. You'd be surprised how many companies value that. But I'm a ba, not a da. I do some etl, but very limited dev stuff. I'm more the stats and numbers guy that work with managers and stakeholders.

    I was already thinking of becoming a Data Analyst before discovering your channel! I'm going to my last year as an Economics student at university and will be studying data analyses as you recommended meanwhile! And yes, it will be a stepping stone, to what? I don't know yet. Once again great content, keep it up!

    I agree, but after Excel I started PowerPivot+Power Query and then the whole PowerBI, that helped me transform multiple excell files and other data sources. That was much easier for me to start learning SQL after them and with the only functions i needed. Now I'm developing my SQL and DAX. Excel, PBI and SQL are easy to learn comparing to the power they offer while using together.

    I needed this video. I've been on the journey since the start of 2022 on becoming a Data Analyst. I would say that I'm extremely well in Excel, and I would rate myself as an intermediate in SQL (I actually enjoy using SQL). I'm actually a bit nervous about using python since I've attempted to learn using it in the past and it was just a tough language to learn. I know that a lot of jobs don't require it, but I also know that it is a preferred skill to use, and that it'll help with the job search faster. Once I'm really comfortable with SQL, Python will be my next move. Hopefully I'm able to land a job soon! I already have a couple portfolio projects done thanks to Alex and Coursera. Just needed something to kick me back into gear.

    Summary for me:
    University: "Learned" SQL and R
    Intern (1Y): Sales reporting with excel and being a Salesforce admin. More business focused (common KPIs).
    1. Job (3Y): Sales analyst with excel and SAP BI tools. More controlling focused (impact on bottom line).
    2. Job (2Y+): BI analyst and working with Excel, PowerBI, SQL, Salesforce, GA4 and R (in that order). More technical focused.
    Biggest learning -> Not a lot of complicated math is involved. More value is generated with business understanding.

I also need to know what skills will be most useful to hiring managers and recruiters AND how to effectively prove it in my CV, so that was also very appreciated. The very structured approach to this video was extremely helpful, thank you very much!

    great intro, I've dipped my toe into the subject and one thing I'll note is that Google sheets query function has a lot of SQL like syntax so for me at least that helped with the transition. also scripts inside of sheets is a pretty good Segway into coding languages like python from what I've experienced.
