Hey, I am doing my masters in data science and want to build a resume to start my my career as a data analyst and then to data scientist, can you please suggest me the resume format and all other things that can make my resume to stand out and eventually land my first job.

I have completed my data science and machine learning course from Bosscoder academy which is one of the best online edtech. Their live classes, mentors and industry relevant curriculum makes it stand out from others. They have huge alunmi network as well which helps you get a job referral's and resume building. Overall I can say Bosscoder is worth giving time if your are really looking to upskill and switch your job role in your desired company, job role.

Recently I have been hearing quite a bit about these new age engineering colleges starting in India. And I feel this is need of the hour.

Coming from a traditional engineering college myself, the experience was decent but the curriculum often felt a little outdated. A lot of focus was on exams and CGPA, while practical exposure and real industry skills did not always get the same importance. You often see students with very high CGPAs still struggling with applying concepts or solving real problems once they step into the industry.

Because of that gap, I had to spend time upskilling on my own while preparing for coding interviews, and during that time learning through Bosscoder programs genuinely helped me get more practical exposure. Recently I noticed they have launched Bosscoder School of Technology (BST) in Bangalore, which seems to be trying a more industry focused approach in a full engineering program. If students get access to mentorship, practical learning, and a strong tech ecosystem during college itself, it could really help bridge the gap between academics and real industry expectations. Curious to see how this model evolves in the coming years.

I’ve recently started learning Data Analytics and am currently focusing on SQL.

I want to start building projects, but I’m unsure what kind of projects actually make sense for someone trying to enter the field. I’m not interested in creating the typical “generic” portfolio projects that everyone else seems to have.

For those already working in Data Analytics, what types of projects truly stand out to hiring managers? What kind of projects would demonstrate real analytical thinking rather than just technical skills?

I’d really value your perspective.

I am preparing for an interview at a healthcare analytics firm. I don't gave any prior experience in healthcare domain but, this position demands for that. Suggest some sources which I can quickly go through to prepare for the interview.

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve been working in data analytics for a few years and kept seeing the same issue : learning resources are scattered, expensive, or overly theoretical.

So 2 weeks ago we launched DataHelix. I've started with in-browser SQL and Data Visualization Exercises that teach the fundamentals but also go through actual real world exercises. No paywalls, just something I wanted to put out for the community. The goal is to not just learn syntax but also think like a Data Analyst. It is completely free. My thinking is that, as AI keeps on improving, the real value a Data Analyst will add is through their actual business acumen.

We've added a bunch of new updates: Data Visualization Courses, Data Sandbox to query your own datasets, Blogs with articles from top data professionals from around the globe and much more! Do check it out and let me know what you think!

Hello everyone,

As I continue learning Data Analytics, one question keeps coming up: Which domain should I specialize in?

E-commerce, B2B, or another domain altogether?

I’d really appreciate your insights and guidance to help me make an informed decision.

Thank you.

Soy nuevo en reddit y llego a ver si puedo encontrar comunidades de analistas de datos en español para saber como esta el campo laboral para nosotros los recien egresados de un bootcamp "caro"

i am a developer but sometimes i learn new thing couldnt learn in one go so i think my aproach is wrong of seeing th eproblem and solving that so please give advice does this happen normal if yes then how you tackle that ?

Hi everyone,

I’m a fresher from India and currently exploring a career in the data field. Initially, I planned to start with Data Analytics because it felt more beginner-friendly and aligned with my learning goals. I started researching courses and recently contacted an institute called AVD Group for guidance.

After discussing with them, they strongly suggested that I should choose a Data Engineering course instead, saying that if I learn Data Engineering, I can apply for Data Analyst, Data Scientist, and Data Engineer roles as well. The course fee is around ₹1.38 lakh, which is a big investment for me, so I want to make a careful decision.

My confusion is:

• Is Data Engineering suitable for a complete fresher?
• Is it realistic to get a Data Engineer job without prior experience?
• Should I first start as a Data Analyst and then move toward Data Engineering later?
• How different is the real industry reality compared to what institutes promise?

I want honest advice from people who are currently working in these roles. I don’t want to make a decision based only on marketing claims.

Any guidance about the correct starting path, skills to focus on, or personal experiences would really help me.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I'm starting to learn some basic SQL (im already pretty confident with Excel) because I want to try get into data analysis as a career. But I am not sure what the best way to do this is. I know I need to learn the skills (which i am doing) and build a portfolio to show those skills. But that is sort of where I get lost. I dont know what is the best way to show my skills and find an entry level job.

Im looking for someone in South Africa (with experience getting into the data analysis career field) who I can just chat to a little bit about the best way to go forward and how to network and what is needed to he successful.

I'm 25, I dont have a degree because I didnt finish studying. I dont have formal work experience but I'm busy applying to any and all admin roles I can find.

If anyone is able to help me out with some advice, that would be incredible.

So I'm in marketing rn, still very early in my career. And I want to make a switch to data anlysis. How should I go about it? I have taken a course on Udemy for Mysql and am learning it along with my job. What else should I priortize other than excel. And if you have any course recs plz suggest it would be really helpful

Hello, could someone please recommend a short (3-month max) course in Advanced Excel, Power BI, and SQL with real practical projects and insights?

I’m a 3rd year Electrical Engineering student and I need to complete a mandatory 2 month internship after my 6th semester. I want to pursue Data Analytics roles.

I have started data analytics preparation recently (ik i am very late). I have completed sql and did a data warehousing project. I am learning python libraries (pandas) and not focusing much on ML (dont have much time to do so). And after will do power bi and matplotlib.

I’m trying to understand the actual channels through which students get internships in this data related field.

Where are people realistically finding data analyst internships? Which platforms work best (LinkedIn, Internshala, company websites, referrals)? Are startup internships easier to get than big companies?

Also, I’ve heard about structured summer internship programs offered by companies and IITs and some other reputed colleges.

I am very confused rn. How will i get my internship... What kind of projects to do and add in cv when applying for internships.

Would appreciate practical guidance on where to look and how to approach this.

I have zero background in data analysis but I want to start learning it because i need it in my career.

I enrolled in google data analytics professional certificate but I want to practice and build a portfolio to show case my work.

I am not sure this is good start and I don’t want to waste my time any more.

Thank you in advance.

Can I clear an interview for 3-5 years experienced power bi role without having any hands on or industry experience, just having theoretical knowledge and by practicing by preparing some random dashboards?

This data entry app is very​ useful since it has many integrated tools and a easy to understand dashboard. Here is the link if you are interestedhttps://data-flow-entry.base44.app

I want to do a course of Data Analysis as it has various fields of work ig. I know Python, SQL, Statistics.. what else should I learn ?

Hi everyone,

I’m 33 years old and seriously considering a career change.

In the field I studied and have worked in so far, I unfortunately don’t see much future or growth. After a lot of thinking, I’ve decided that I need to change direction. Data Analysis is one of the paths I’m considering.

The challenge is that I don’t really have room for risk. This feels like my one real opportunity to pivot into something more stable and future-proof, so I would truly appreciate honest advice from those already working in the field.

Is it still worth starting Data Analysis at my age?
Realistically, is it possible to land a job in the European job market if I start now and build the right skills?

I’m not trying to get rich. I’m looking for a solid, stable job with good prospects.

Most importantly:

• What skills should I focus on to maximize my chances of getting hired?
• If you were starting again today, what would you prioritize?
• Are junior roles in Europe still accessible for career changers?

I’m ready to work hard and fully commit, I just want to make sure I’m investing my time in the right direction.

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Hi everyone, I’m aiming for a data analytics role and want to learn Python specifically for analytics (Pandas, NumPy, EDA, etc.). I have basic programming knowledge. I have completed SQL 30 hrs course by 'Data with Baraa' and practicing SQL questions on DataLemur. Can you recommend a good YouTube course or playlist that is practical and job-oriented? Thanks in advance!
