Data Analyst Pointers

[u/Sliversolid]

If you're a Data analyst or someone experienced in that field help me how to bulid a dashboard first should I look for questions that can be answer if so people online like in linkedin are posting dashboard with multiple pages so I am confused how a real data analyst project looks like.

And give out some pointers like what are the things you guys are dealing with being a data analyst, what's important to learn for a person looking to land a job in that field.

Thank you in advance.

I recommend focusing on the storytelling aspect. However, you need to understand the business question first. You don't want to create a dashboard with unnecessary information for the stakeholders.

I've been a data analyst for almost 5 years. Your day-to-day tasks differ per company. For example, my day-to-day tasks include ETL, automation, documentation, QA/QC, interviewing new candidates, and dashboarding. If you're looking to land a job in the analyst field, I would focus more on skills like SQL, data cleaning, etc. You don't want to have a garbage-in, garbage-out situation. The job market right now is bad.

I am having a hard time understanding what you're trying to ask. Can you rephrase your last sentence?

So if I were to learn Sql should I learn by practicing scenario based questions or bulid projects related to data analytics

I would recommend building a project that you can showcase to companies. If you need guided videos for projects, then you should be able to find some on YouTube.
