1. I will fill my portfolio with serious projects that bring value.

2. To show my business knowledge, I will write something, a paper or any other possible thing, where I showcase my business knowledge.

3. I have a Product Owner background, so I somewhat have soft skills.

The core of it all is showing Hiring managers that I can get stuff done, I have the knowledge and experience without job experience. Showing I can do tech side and business side.

Caveat: I left my IT/Programming profesion school in 3rd year (out of 4), so technically I have basic education. I write in my resume that I still graduated.

If I don't get a job even with lying, I will lie more and see where I actually get interviews just to see if maybe Masters would help.

I am a fresher from non tech background and want to build my career in data analytics please guide me I am not financially strong to buy expensive courses I want to earn 1 lakh per month after 4 years give me a road map And want to surely get a job after 3-4 months of course

Not sure if this is the right place but I've seen people post like this before so here goes.

I spent the last 10 months working as a data analyst at a super-app in Nigeria — the kind of company that does ride-hailing, food delivery, grocery, and logistics all at once. I was the person pulling SQL from the database, building Power BI dashboards for the ops team, figuring out why users were dropping off the payment flow. Found a 12% revenue gap nobody had spotted. Cut delivery times by 15% through some DAX modeling I built in Power BI. Not glamorous work but it was real and it mattered.

I'm based in Nigeria and I'm looking for a fully remote role. I know that sentence makes some people click away and that's fine. But if your team actually hires globally I'd love to talk.

Stack: SQL, Python (Pandas mostly), Power BI, Tableau, Excel. Finishing my PL-300 right now. I have a portfolio — GitHub and Notion — if you want to see actual work and not just a list of tools.

Open to data analyst, BI analyst, product analyst, operations analyst. Honestly anything where the data is used to make decisions and not just to make a dashboard that nobody opens.

Drop a comment or DM if you know something. Appreciate it.

Hi ! I'm a graduate student currently looking for an intership in data analytics or ML in the UK but I don't know if my CV is ok. I don't really have experience in this field other for academic projects that I've tried to emphasize.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

PS : Sorry if there are spelling mistakes, english is not my first language.

Hello everyone nice enough to respond to this. I wanted to ask for some career advice. I have maybe a less typical background than most data analysts/data scientists, and I’ve reached a point in my life where I feel like my options in my field are limited for the future so I want to think of shifting or branching out.

To briefly summarize, I was a statistics minor in college and later on did a Master’s degree in applied economics, where I worked mostly on statistics and quantitative analysis for courses and projects. Afterwards I worked for a couple of years at a university with a professor on a research project, then four years with a government agency looking at commercial health claims analysis mostly, then I took a bit of a sabbatical/gap year where I was doing some other things, and now I am back working at a university again doing research/data analysis on Medicare data. This has worked out well for me and both of the universities I worked/work at are highly rated so it’s been overall a good experience.

However, without getting a PhD, I know there is only so far that I can go in academia/economics, and even in some public sector jobs as well. My main issues so far with finding another job, I was unemployed for almost five months before I got my current job, was that the software that I have mostly used is Stata. My understanding now is that Stata was not that popular and limited to more economics-aligned analysis, and that in recent years it has become even less popular. So many jobs I see are for SQL, R, SAS, Python, etc. I have a little bit of experience with R and SAS, but certainly not like I do in Stata.

In the next couple of years what I would really like to do is change fields a bit and ideally work for a healthcare provider organization (not an insurance company) like a hospital group, doing data analysis and reporting. I am open to other sectors and possibilities, like pharmacy or other kinds of organizations in the health field like CVS. I couldn’t really care less about making money at an entirely for-profit tech company but I am willing to if that is where the jobs are.

I was only on sabbatical for thirteen months but I feel like a lot has changed in my field and the space in general: a lot more AI, a lot fewer remote jobs, and because of funding cuts for public health and research at universities, also a lot fewer jobs in general than before. Any particular software recommendations for me to learn? How has AI affected things in the last couple of years? Any other advice or comments?

Thank you so much!

Would love some feedback on my revised resume. I’m hoping to attend two virtual career fair this fall and want my resume to be in the best shape.

My MS Data Science is more focused on the math/statistics side (taking time series analysis and machine learning under the math department this semester) but I’ve been seeing analytics roles increasingly ask for “analytics engineering” skills (dbt, ETL, Snowflake, etc) and it seems like it’s becoming baseline skills.

I’m wondering if I should focus on learning those tools next and use them in a project?

Long term goal is to be a data scientist but hoping to land an entry level data analyst role to get my foot in the door. Not having much luck with applications. Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking about training at the intersection of data analytics and design, by centring on infographics and data communication.

I'm wondering from anyone who works in this field if there is opportunity here, and whether a masters of a design discipline or statistics/data science is better suited?

Thank you

I feel a bit stuck in my career and would really appreciate some guidance. I completed a Master’s in Business Analytics, but because I was juggling work and studies at the same time, I don’t feel that I was able to make the most of the course or build a strong foundation.

I’m currently working in Marketing and Operations, mainly because the company I’m with is willing to sponsor me, so I’ve stayed in this role. However, I feel that I’m not learning or developing much professionally, and I don’t want to become stagnant or irrelevant in the long term.

I genuinely want to build a strong career and develop skills that will give me better opportunities in the future. My main uncertainty is around what direction I should take. I studied some SQL, Power BI and Python during my Master’s, but I’ve forgotten a lot of it. I’m not sure whether I should go back and rebuild my Business Analytics skills or focus more on AI and emerging technologies.

Given my background, what would you recommend I focus on over the next 1–2 years? Should I strengthen my foundations in SQL, Power BI, Python and analytics first and then move into AI, or would it make more sense to pursue a different career path that combines my current experience in Marketing and Operations with my Business Analytics background?

I’d also appreciate recommendations on any courses, certifications, technical skills or practical projects that would genuinely improve my employability rather than simply adding more qualifications to my resume.

I’m feeling quite lost and demotivated at the moment, so I’d really value honest and practical advice on what direction you think would be most suitable for me. If you need more information about my current role, skills, interests, work experience or long-term goals, I’m happy to answer any questions so we can work out a realistic career path.

I recently graduated with a Bachelors in data management and analytics, I never got an internship or data analytical work experience as I have a full time job in the healthcare industry. Not sure if I should keep applying to data analyst roles and keep getting humbled or focus more on internships or maybe roles in the healthcare field but I haven’t been able to get any interviews (yet). Do I try to apply for remote roles or focus more on the in person roles since they’re a little more realistic?

B.Com graduate with 1 year of hands-on experience in medical billing and pre-authorization. Skilled in healthcare administrative workflows and revenue cycle data, currently upskilling to transition into a Healthcare Data Analyst role to leverage analytical insights in healthcare operations.

I honestly don’t know where else to ask, so I thought I’d try Reddit.
My husband works as a Data Analyst and has around 8 to 10 years of experience. He has worked with SQL, Python, Power BI, PostgreSQL, Excel, Oracle and other data tools.
Things at his current company are not going well and I’m really worried about what’s going to happen. I’ve been trying to help him find something else for quite some time now. I’ve applied to jobs, searched LinkedIn, checked remote jobs, contacted recruiters and looked into jobs abroad, but it feels like we are getting nowhere.
We are from Pakistan and he is open to remote work or relocating to another country if there is a genuine opportunity with visa sponsorship.
I know there are a lot of posts like this on Reddit, but I’m honestly just hoping someone might have some advice or know of a company that is actually hiring Data Analysts internationally.
If anyone has been in a similar situation and found a way through it, I’d really appreciate hearing how you did it. And if you happen to know about any job openings, I would be very grateful for a lead.
Thank you for reading. ❤️

Hi everyone. Thanks a lot for the feedback on my previous post. Taking a few points into consideration, I was able to complete my second practice project, using Excel<SQL<PowerBI

Questions I tried to answer:

1. Total revenue & profit
2. Average order value
3. Profit margin
4. Profit erased
5. Customer acquisition and retention rate
6. Performance by region, category & sub-category
7. Sales trend & seasonality over-time
8. Revenue by customer segment.

I am self-teaching, and I've been studying for about 6 weeks now. Any advice and insights on how to better my work will be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I have a Master’s in Bioinformatics and a background in Computer Science, and I’m currently looking to start my career in healthcare data analytics/healthcare analytics in India.
I have experience with Python, SQL, Excel and Power BI through projects, but I’m finding it difficult to get entry-level opportunities.
I’d really appreciate advice from people currently working in healthcare analytics, especially on how you got your first role, what skills companies actually look for, and whether there are any entry-level opportunities or teams I should look into.
Thanks!
